:lol: fantastic pictures. And it does look great.

But I have to say that nowhere have I seen a more clear presentation of why a company like Korg would not provide a printed reference manual. Or why any company would not provide a printed reference manual of the sort required with a product the likes of the Kronos.

Face it, we're moving to a digital world, tablet readers are made for this stuff, and as for lying in bed and randomly browsing the manual, how about entering a term like "Filter Cutoff" into the find feature and seeing where that leads you? Can't do that with paper...

Paper's dead. ;)

Need to look at a few sheets while working on something? Print 'em out. Throw them away later (recycle). Mark them up in the mean time.

Yes I complety agree to the post above and especially the last paragraph. Paper for me is used as 'temporary' working 'area' ... when I need a long time storage or reference I type it over in a document (or scan it in some cases).

At my work I sometimes print documents when I need to add marks to it until a new version comes out or mostly until the project I need the document for has ended or mostly until the remarks are incorporated into the new document, so a total document life time of just several weeks.

I like paper, I keep a lot of keyboard brochures and manuals in the mag holder in my bathroom. It's easier on my eyes to read paper too. Maybe the tablet thing is changing that. I should explore...

I threw away some of my old brochures lately ... did hurt a bit but I kept way to much old stuff in my house.
