I'm on the opposite side of that.  I'd much prefer something
electronic, but at least professional in appearance.  Something
downloadble in PDF format would be great.  Then those that
really need the paper version could just print it out.  For me,
paper items ultimately get tossed on the trash because I get
sick of the clutter long before I get around to reading them.
That is when the cats don't tear them up first.  Hard disk space
is much more plentiful and a lot more tidy.
