PBP3 download trial and purchase links

I have some more questions if I may:

a) Can someone send me a screenshot of the Products page of the website?
I also want to purchase the manual and can't see the price and if it is selectable as paperbook or digital.

The package of PBP 3.1 includes the Micro Code Studio IDE, so no worries about this.

b) I remember reading somewhere that MicroCodeStudio can be purchased separately, but why sell it separately if it's already bundled in PBP3.1?

c) I am using the microchip 18F47K40 that is not (yet) supported by PBP3.1 according to the PBP-chiplist.
Can this chip, and maybe others in the near future, be added to the software as supported chips?

The compiler includes the pdf manual that you can print on your printer if you like, or in a near print shop. I think it might be cheaper that way. Also in the latest compiler there are some text readme files that add more info to the manual. But then again here is the latest compiler version (3.1.6), the latest manual (dated back to 2015) and some notes: https://pbp3.com/download_current.html

The difference is in the P as MCS is free and MCSP, the plus (+) version, is paid. It animated in-circuit debug and also a microcode loader (kind of a bootloader). I guess not very much needed. You can send some variables to a serial port and monitor the flow of your program. Also bootloaders are available I guess.

That list is obsolete as there was an update of the compiler and now supports the 47K40 chip, among few more newer. Here is the updated one: https://pbp3.com/devicelist.html

But I am pretty sure there will be no other updates in the future. The last version of the compiler was 3.1.6.
