RepairPro: CD Manuals, anyone know anything about them?

[Gus Strakes]

I see these for sale on EBAY for our cars, only $19.99. Does anyone know anything about them? Good or Bad? Feedback appreciated.

I guess not.

Never bought one myself, I still like to use the ole book method.

I too, still like the idea of having a book in between my greasy fingers.

The whole idea of putting the service manual on a CD is stupid in my opinion. Last thing I want to do when up to my elbows in grease is go into my office and start messing with my computer. I've heard the argument that it's better to just print out the pages that you need and that way you can get them as dirty as you want without ruining the whole manual. Unfortunately, that doesn't work so well in the real world. When you run into something unexpected you often have to go back into the manual to look something up in a different section. Having to go all the way back to my computer and print out extra pages would annoy the heck out of me.

I have the Mitchell version from ebay. It is less featured, less comprehensive than the factory manuals.

I would spend the money on the factory paper version.
