QuotePredictably, since Haynes has been acquired by a company called InfoPro Digital, future Haynes manuals will be available only as downloads, not as printed books.

The good news is that if there's a paper manual for a vehicle available now, you'll still be able to buy one in the future, as these titles will remain in print.

Haynes says it's working on a "new automotive maintenance and repair product" that will cover more makes and models than the current catalog can offer.

The whole point in getting a repair manual is to have a physical book. A How are you supposed to swipe the screen the with dirty hands.

I am totally against digital copies. I want a physical CD. I want a physical book.
