>I find a physical catalogue much easier to use than a search engine; flipping pages is quicker, particularly when there is a lot of subjective choice in the matter.

I agree.

Is it possible to download the current catalogs?  I could not find it
on DigiKey's site in a quick search just now.
Can download this one from 2011: http://www.digikey.com/US2011/digikey.pdf

Mouser was easy to find:

Print a few (dozen) pages to flip through?
