Yes. I got trouble.
We usually use four-ring or two-ring binders and JIS sheets here in
Japan.
1. I can not purchase a three hole paper puncher. So I have to struggle
with
a ruler and a single hole puncher to bind some notes with the manual.
2. A JIS A4 sheet is little bit long and taller than your letter size
one.
If we make an A4 book, it will not be put in your shelves.
Thanks.
