Lemme expound on that a tad.

If you write about and create documentation for software, and that
documentation is in print, then a binder is going to take up more room
on the desktop than hard or soft cover perfect bound documentation. If
the perfect binding is a lay-flat kind, all the better.

Lets say you, as a customer, bought this software. And the boss comes
by to see what his $800 was for ... if there is no book, you fire up
the s/w and maybe the online help, if there is a book you fire up the
s/w and hand over the book. Consider the look, feel, and impression of
a 3-ring binder, no printed docs, self-printed docs, to a
perfect-bound book with four-color art on the soft or hardcover.

The flip side, of course, is that the book represents the bulk, if not
all, of your packaging and shipping costs.

For saving Real Estate on the desktop, I prefer spiral (wire) bound.
