On the contrary I'd rather have a massive tome filled with all the rules so I can refer to a single book's index, and find what I want.
When I first got into 5e, they were about to release XGE, and I actually did make one monster book. It lacked magic items, but everything else (even how to play) was condensed into one 1.5in binder. They were really freakin' sweet to use.
I wouldn't mind the idea of basically being given PDFs that you can print out and organise in a binder.
The 2e monster manual (monstrous compendium is what they called it) was like that. They sold a big ass 3-ring binder with some monsters, then subsequent monster “books” came with holes punched. You could just integrate them right in to your main book, leave them as their own section, take out pages you planned to use, organize it however you liked. But in practice, the holes all tore and you ended up with a sheaf of loose papers. Even if you went out and bought those hole reinforcement circles. It was a cool idea, just the execution was lacking.
I used Binder Sleeves but yeah still cumbersome
