We have it for our new digital camera and my wife can't stand the PDF documentation. I printed the documentation since most people read from the printed word. If Adobe want Flex 2 to survive, think about lots of books on that technology. You are correct that PDF documentation is worthless.

This would no doubt put you well over Adobe's asking price (whic is actually pretty cheap - assuming that the printed documentation is comprehensive). Plus bound books last longer and look cooler on the shelf :).

I can see Adobe's PDF documentation being a handy searchable reference, but for an in depth read digital formatting stinks. It also looks like any half decent third party books won't even be available till November/January. I'm finding that most of the current books labelled Flex 2.0 really are about 1.5 with a slapped-on Chapter on "recent feature updates". Looks like I'll have to trudge to Staples to get my Flex PDF docs paperfied. :P My thought exactly!
