And on the flip side of that---
They are useful, you can use the feature of adobe 6 to search for a keyword
across all of the pdf, read what you need and know that you did not miss
anything stray. Print just what you need (if you need) get them as greasey
as you want. When you are done throw the pages away. You never have to
carefully flip through pages of a book using dirty hands trying to keep
finger prints off a book again.
I really like having manuals in PDF format. Now is there one for a 83 CJ?

I went & got one for my 03TJ, it looks like a factory manual to me, every thing is there.
I started to print the whole thing out just to have a hard copy in the garage when needed
but it started to get to be too expensive what with the amount of ink not to mention the
time it was taking so I just did the sections I thought I would need & if there's something
I have planed I make sure it's printed out.

Re: Service manual's on CD (via eBay) - any good?
Where did you get your manual (er CD)?
I had been looking for an actual book for my '02TJ but couldn't find one
(never did go to the dealership directly though).
The Cd IS cheaper....but to be quickly usable it needs to be on paper.
How many pages is it? check with a print shop. It'll probably end up
costing more than the manual itself...colour pages too?!
