I went in with all of my logbooks tabbed and labeled (Logbook #1, Logbook #2, etc.). I highligted and tabbed all the important accomplishments (first solo, Private Pilot checkride, type rides, etc.). I think being able to see those events in a historical progression helps them get to know you and your progress in aviation. An electronic logbook is very professional looking, but it makes you look more like a number instead of a person, IMO.

That being said, I also have an electronic logbook that matched my old-school paper logbooks. I took a printout of the summary from my electronic logbook and mentioned that I have the printed electronic logbook with me as well. They only looked at my paper logbooks and the breakdown of the info they asked for. It was very low stress and just a conversation about my flying experience and history. 10-15 minutes.
