Hi Jacques,
It is my understanding that Bentley is busy working on a new and improved version of their consumer CDs. The expectations are that it will be a much better product... and some sort of credit will likely be given to current CD owners who want to  upgrade.

Like yourself, I prefer a paper manual while working on the car...
