The Jeppesen rep I talked to mentioned that they did change their dealer
policies a bit and that some dealers are opting not to sell the packages,
but the Airway Manual Express packs are still made available to dealers and
individuals.

Not quite true, either.  This link (http://tinyurl.com/xe87) takes you to
the Jeppesen Airway Manual Express page that shows the Northeast package as
your best option.  Just call them (toll-free from the US) to order your
package.  Subscription or trip kits are available.

No, you're not, but it would appear that the rumor isn't true.
