Is it possible to purchase a hard copy of the operation manual? The PDF is is cool but I’d like hard copy around as well. 
No
Take the pdf to Kinkos or somewhere … or there’s some online services that might do it cheaper.
You’ll pay of course … about as much as for a similar sized technical book, but if you really want one to leaf through (I know what you mean!) it might be worth it. (I’ve done it for Apples Motion app…)

Somone on another thread was saying, since the only way to get a paper manual now is to print the pdf, why keep the page size as small as it is? - better to design the page for A4 (or whatever).
