The idea of being able to flick through all the haynes manuals on an ipad is brilliant. And I don't even like cars.
Would you use a shop manual exclusively on an (your) ipad?
Or would you prefer to have a paper copy, so that you don't get your ipad greasy and scratched while you're working on a car?
