Also, once the test is complete, where are they going to put the paper copies in the Embraer? We already have next to no room...

If you are going to use it make sure you keep it updated (super easy) and are familiar with how good reader works. Once you learn a few basic functions, you can find what you want much faster than in the book itself.
Pretty sure we will never see "class 2" capabilities. By the time they design, produce, and distribute mounting brackets for the EFB the fleet will be in the desert. I also heard Jepp charges more for the electronic updates over the paper ones. Crazy huh?
