I am with jbcev80. If stamps were listed so that you wouldn't have to flip back and forth between pages that would be great. I doubt that will ever happen so I will always stick with the paper version catalogs.

I have no objections to eBooks & other digital assets assuming the price is right (cheap).

But for example Michel charges 60€ for print catalog, and 50€ for eBook (which by the way works on Android & Windows phone too as long as You just go to effort of installing Flash Player). With that kind of pricing, print catalog is a sure winner for me.

It seems to me that having a set of catalogs available on a relatively small and light device would be useful when going to shows, dealer's stores* and club meetings. Much better than packing heavy paper catalogs with me! Someday I will have to get one of those tablet things.

I find the few PDF catalogs that I have on my PC are just as easy to refer to as paper ones, while not taking up any more scarce desk top space than the PC already does.

* There are still a few here in the Seattle area and they would have a set of Scott catalogs that I could probably use, but not Michel and other more specialized ones.

I wouldn't do it. I like making notes in hard copies of the catalog.

I would buy one, however, for a quick reference on the go.

Hi ekbustad

I agree about club meetings. However, at a show, or in a dealer's store, there would be a catalog(s) available for you to look at.

But not, generally, the ones that I would want to use.
