Has anyone purchased any of the on line parts and service manuals and if so which and what is your experience with them?

I have an online manual for a newer car (2007 Cayman S). I don't care much for it, but it was the only version available. I find the printed manuals more practical to use when working on the car. I have no experience with an online manual for an E-Type.

I pulled an online manual for our old 2008 Infiniti FX-35 and it was great and allowed me to save a lot of money. Never tried it for the E-Type but then again back when I started working on them it was the '70s and back then you just purchased a shop manual. I did pick up the Service manual that Amazon sells and found it useful however:
JAGUAR E TYPE MODELS 3.8 & 4.2 LITRE SERIES 1 & 2 SERVICE MANUAL: E/123/8, E/123B/3, E/156 (Official Workshop Manuals): Jaguar Land Rover Limited, Books: 9781855200203: Amazon.com: Books JAGUAR E TYPE MODELS 3.8 & 4.2 LITRE SERIES 1 & 2 SERVICE MANUAL: E/123/8, E/123B/3, E/156 (Official Workshop Manuals): Jaguar Land Rover Limited, Books: 9781855200203: Amazon.com: Books
(I've found books to be a bit easier to use when your up to your arms in the car, it doesn't time out, and you don't have to worry about dropping it where a PC or Tablet can be more difficult unless you've mounted it somehow). Anyway best of luck!
