Lot of us ordered paper copies earlier. Now if you try to order its 50 dollars. It was free only during first six months. This is what I did to order fresh copies (updated). There are 3-4 versions of owners manual. In Honda owners website -https://owners.honda.com/ started a chat and told them I had not received my earlier manual from six months ago. They started another order free of charge.
Or you could print the PDF yourself or take it to a Kinko's or something and have it done for a few dollars instead of lying to Honda...
I ordered my manual thru owner.honda.com. I have a PHEV, and received an EV manual! LOL I went back online after that, and started a chat, told them what had happened, and they ordered me a PHEV one...which I am still awaiting. I have the PDF copy on my phone, my home and work computers.
Unless you have good eyesight or a magnifying glass, I am not sure you should bother with the printed manual. Think phone book size print.
The printed manual has to be like that to fit into the glove box. If you don't have a PDF device handy, there's no substitute. And, if you order soon (6 months after purchase), it's free!
