Default Porsche 928 Manual on CD on Amazon $30

Hi Everyone,

Was just looking around Amazon and found they have a full set of manuals on CD-ROM from Porsche for only $29. Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

Here is the link:

VTY,
Joe

How are these pages different from the old paper manuals (other than that they are in electronic format)? Is this different content?

I wonder if there's any difference between this manual and the one you can download for free from the UK site.

The JIm Morehouse CD set of 5 CD's is far better and has 20 times the knowledge on it than this set.
The quality may not be good either. Jim's are the best you can find along with every technical document ever issued on the 928.
Just my $.05

Also info on how much does it costs and what it offers on top of the free stuff would help those interested.

Inquiring minds would like to know what extra content has the the Jim Morehouse CD set over the free workshop manual available for download on the internet?

I understand that it's better organised and better scanned, but a 5 CD set probably contains much more then some 334Mbs of pdf files. A good description might help the potential customer take a decision.

Thats why I put my email address.
Certain forums and Porsche do not like advertisments.
