I always read the manual from front to back when I first buy something.

Then when I'm suffering from another periodic bout of gear-lust, I read the old manuals again. It kinda gives me that "hey, this is new and cool" feeling and I always find something I'd missed or forgotten.

(Also, its a real ego-stroke to be told what a discerning and lucky punter I am to have purchased this app/synth/widget. You know, the opening paragraph.)

Like many of you, I take the .pdf's to Kinko's and have them printed and bound.

strange... i had a printed manual in the box of Live
do you mean there's more on a pdf ?

I chose the download version of the Live 4 upgrade, and that only comes with a .pdf manual.

And I was talking about .pdfs in general. Like Cubase's complete manual is only available in .pdf form. No printed manual at all, other than the "Getting Started" manual.

ok pdf's are a pain to read but if it can save a few trees...

Yeah, but they're hard to read in the can, unless you take your laptop in there with you.
