If you’re so insensed about the price, don’t buy. Nobody’s forcing you to have both, if you’ve got the paper version, and you’re obviously happy with it, stop bleating about something you don’t appear to actually need. Or are you just a freetard?
I haven’t bought a paper OS for ages, and now I have digital versions on my phone and pad, backed up, on a DVD, and downloads that can be re-downloaded if the worst happens, for free, why would I want paper versions? I can just print an area that I’m interested in direct from my pad, if I want a paper back-up.
How much is a single sheet 1:25k these days, anyway?
Edit] Bugger lending maps to mates, if they want them, they can buy them. I don’t trust anybody to treat my stuff with respect, and if they want an area of map, I can print it. On waterproof paper, if need be.
