Personally I like printed manuals, seeing now that those versions will be discontinued will there be discounted prices on older printed manual versions?  The latest comments added to the Post, Maplesoft saves some trees 142508 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:25:16 Z Christopher2222 Christopher2222 Hypocrisy or political correctness http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/142506-Maplesoft-Saves-Some-Trees?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Maplesoft saves some trees:Comments#comment142526 Quite right, we don't need printed manuals. But please, don't say you stop printing manuals to help save the environment. Stopping because it does not make sense economically is a good enough reason!

Printed manuals are better for my eyes. It is not clear that there is a total carbon footprint reduction. Not cutting down trees and not shipping books will reduce carbon emissions on that side. But having to read those books electronically will increase the carbon footprint at this side (in particular more production of electricity for computers, air conditioning, etc). And economically, it means a transfer of costs from Maplesoft to the users. So, I see this decision as bad.

I stop someone from cutting a tree -> I save a tree. I refrain from cutting a tree -> I do neither of the above.

The Maple 16 manuals are available on our <a href="https://webstore.maplesoft.com/catalog.aspx">web store</a> today, for anyone who wants to pick up a set.  Once Maple 17 comes out, we’ll look at how many copies of the Maple 16 manuals we have left, if any, and decide then what to do with them.  Selling them at a discount may be an option, though it's too early to promise anything. In case you are interested, you can by a new copy of First Leaves on Amazon for under $4!   eithne The latest comments added to the Post, Maplesoft saves some trees 142563 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 04:00:42 Z eithne eithne
