Seems to me they're missing out on a big but slightly different market for their books.

Whilst I agree that an electronic version of the manual would be good, I would feel naked going out to work on the car without the relevant Haynes manual, grubby or otherwise.

Begs the question, which bits get grubby?

In take a Laptop out with a service manual on it.

Purchased when my Local Rover/MG dealer had a Clearance sale before closing.

For the Rover 600 that I used to have few years ago, I used to photocopy (with the printer/scanner at home) the pages of the manual that were needed and keep the manual at home.
I did not have the chance to do so yet with the freshly obtained Haynes Manual for the 75
