I'm with the mob that wants printed copy here. I do make a distinction
between data sheets and user manuals though. I don't mind that data
sheets are generally only PDF, they generally only run a few pages
anyway. I really dislike needing to print user manuals though. (I also
prefer having data sheets separate from user manuals, especially for
micros but that's another issue).

I have convinced reps to act as my print shop on several occasions when
the only apparent copy of the user manual was in PDF form. Reading off
of a screen is just not the same.
