Guys,
I think you're working too hard on this. We haven't printed a single chart since we got this figured out. We have 2 types of EFB, Fujitsu 1500's and HP 1100's. Both are very light, small, and thin, and they work very well. Using the outline/zoon feature lets you see any area of a "folding" chart, and the "circle R" key brings it right back. We have had absolutely no issues with speed, and we use a PDF AFM for Perf charts and PDF flightplan info emailed from ARINC Direct on the tablet as well. None of us are the least bit tempted to return to paper for anything other than the enroute charts, and we have almost the entire western hemisphere in 3 binders - more room for crew meals in the cockpit!
In addition, contrasted with Motion Computing or other specialized EFB's, ours are less than $2000 each with bumper-to-bumper 3 year warranties including screen. We do carry a Canon i-80 battery-powered printer, which needs to get a hit off the power plug once a month or so, but we have thus far rarely used it except for "welcome aboard" sheets. I cannot imagine returning to paper binders. Once we add Wx Works during the C Check, this will be a complete solution.
