I don’t own many safety manuals, but oh boy, do I own a lot of user manuals. I should be more diligent in going through the pile of manuals and toss out the ones where threw away the corresponding item many years ago, but alas, I’m not that organized. Another issue is that I don’t just have one pile of manuals, but many, which are distributed throughout the house, and that some piles are added to by third parties, a.k.a. my wife and kids. Some manuals I can find quite easily, e.g. the one for our water heater that I (unfortunately) need on a more regular basis. But more often than not, looking the stuff up on the internet is faster than finding the paper version!
