It doesn't have to be included with every calculator. It should be made available on request (and I'd even accept to pay extra for it, if the price is honest and the quality good). Like many people, I just can't study a big book like that in-depth in pdf form, and like many people, I'm not using the Prime to its full potential because I don't have an easy way to study its manual.

I remember spending countless train commutes studying the hp48g/50g manuals "back then". I used to read them cover-to cover, not just as a reference, with the result that I often discovered interesting features/commands that I wouldn't have searched on my own.

Oh, and I just hate people who are too lazy to read the manual they have in their hands, and then come to me and ask "how do I do this and that"? This applies to every technological "gadget", not only calculators.
