Anyone order Bentley guide ($30 off)? Can you print pages or is it locked?
I seem to remember a couple of years ago that printing was either not possible, or a PITA (from B6 guide). And also, because it is software based, there was (and still is) not Mac compatible.
While I totally agree with having a digital/online manual, and my business is design and development for web, I still think there should be a printed version, even if it costs more. I would be much more likely to thumb-through a printed manual than a digital one. Plus I don't want to get my laptop covered in grease and stuff.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bentleypublishers.com/product.htm?code=ab88">Bentley Guide link</a></li></ul>

Ross-Tech sells them for $79
Ross Tech, the makers of VAG-Com sells these manuals for $79 each, rather than the $99 that's being offered from Bentley directly. The difference being that since the manual is still pre-release, Ross Tech is not yet able to post them for sale.
Thanks very much for making us aware that the manual is finally ready for distribution. I've been waiting for it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=Audi">R oss Tech - Bentley Manuals for Audi</a></li></ul>

I am not sure, but I think B8 will be more expensive. On Bentley, it shows $130 regular price and
for B6 and others it shows $99. Ross-Tech is selling the $99 for $79, so I would guess that the B8 one would be more like $100-$110.
But I hope I am wrong. It just looks like Bentley is upping the prices, though. Hopefully that means better features or more details...
