Operational Manuals / FCOM's - How Are You Provided These?

Just curious - how do you receive your airline manual suite? Paper? Digital? If digital - in what format? PDF or HTML? Easy to use - hyperlinked and bookmarked properly?

Cheers

Hard copy of all manuals, plus the ability to download them onto an iPad if you have one.

Digital only, hyperlinked pdf files. Very easy to use.

Only the QRH is provided in paper, same as in the on board library.

Bookmarked/hyperlinked PDF files. Since almost everybody uses iPad or similar tablet, there is little point to having full stack of books at home just for study.

On a cd. The paper copies are in the managers office. So no access after five or the weekend.

CD issued in PDF format plus online in HTML and PDF but soon to be in XML if it can made work as advertised.

I found it hard to make the transition from paper to digital but having done so would not like to go back to paper.
