User manuals as pdf files are great for using Ctrl + F to quickly search and find when you know the exact term you're looking for. But, in my humble opinion, a printed manual is worth its weight in gold.

You can read a printed manual as long as there is enough light to see the page. You can fold page corners, use post-it notes to mark a location or add a note and mangle as needed.

I ordered a hard copy of the 2019 Band-in-a-Box manual yesterday. PG Music was out-of-stock for awhile but stock has been replenished.

It's very reasonably priced at $10 US plus shipping.
