I have been using Bentley manuals on various german cars since the 70's. They were always better than the Haynes repair manuals. I have always had my eye on the Porsche shop manuals (more costly I know) and wonder how they compare to the new Bentley manual.

In the lower picture, several of the caution lights are mislabeled.

My experience is mostly from Haynes manuals for other cars I've got, and the Bentley manual is a lot more understandable and well explained.

It also contains a very helpful explanation of the Porsche schematic system.
Totally agree. While not perfect, the Bentley manuals are FAR better than anything else, short of the factory ones which are quite expensive.

I just received mine and will go through it this weekend.

I like it and is better than the E46 BMW version simply because it is a hardback. The layout is consistent with basic maintenance needs. Well worth the money.

Are there different Porsche Shop manuals to those readily and freely available to download online?

It's good. Found a mistake in the instrument cluster lights, nothing that will cause damage to the car, but it should have been vetted a couple of times is all I saying.
