The aircraft being ferried are transport category. I see the reference to 91.503 b) requiring "pertinent charts". It doesn't say paper. The charts cost and I'd prefer not to have to drag them around all over the place. Sportys has that great CD with all the US airports.

I have a Garmin MFD in which I keep all the charts loaded and current.
With my Jeppesen subscription for the data I also have JeppView on my computer. Before flying to a new airport I print off the plates for the airport I am going to and perhaps an alternate. My mini netbook also is kept within reach when I fly, which if need be I can boot up and access JeppView.
I also keep the NOS books current and in the aircraft to the states or I usually fly to. I have 3 books in the aircraft.
I only use the electronic charts as backup. I prefer having a paper chart on my lap or yoke clip instead of pushing a ton of buttons to pull of the correct plate and pushing more buttons to change the view.
