Personally though I find the on-line version somewhat slow/cumbersome to find what I'm looking for. Using Windows as my desktop machine (servers running Linux) I found the most accessible form of the manual was that distributed with pgAdminIII. Until recently they shipped a fully searchable Windows Help version of the latest manual which was fantastic. Unfortunately pgAdmin has now removed that section of the manual and simply links to the Postgres web-site. I can understand it was some work to put it in each time - but it was very useful. So much so when I get a chance I intend to find an older copy of pgAdmin and install just the manual from it. Has anyone else generated a Windows Help version of the manual? Is there a source version of the files used to generate it (pgAdmin people?)? I'd be interested in the amount of work needed to create the file - if not excessive I might volunteer to get it done again if people other than me might find it useful.
