Yep!
The jepp product is nothing more than a non-interactive slewable pdf, with limited zoom, non-Scaleable Vector Graphics (crisp images), a cumbersome and inconsistent interface, and with no growth potential into the digital world. The eRM was/is data base driven, thats why you could do things like an attribute look up with a click, or SID/STARs tailored by runway instead of every possible option and txt on one pdf page. Jepp goes digital in 2018, we were there 8 yrs ago with Lido. The jepp human interface is horrible. The fact most of us cannot even load a route, search an MEL issue, and use the external keyboard are minor issues when you consider things like digital NOTAMs, interactive ADS-B moving maps, and other digital enhancements have ZERO growth for us in the near future. Combine all this with Jepp being a much more expensive product and we can only hope they listen to the customers complaints. Time will tell.

And that would have worked with LIDO as well. As long as the paycheck clears I'll use what they tell me but the expense of taking care of the backup LIDO kit is not a valid argument.
