Default Ebay CD Service manuals? any good?

Just purchased one of the ebay cd service manuals, for a whopping $0.01... http://cgi.ebay.ca/92-95-Honda...wItem

Just wondering if i can get any feedback if they are reliable source or not? and would they official Honda hardcopy be effective?

Thanks in advance

Oh look, another "I already bought, but is this good" thread.

The people that sell them are lowlife scum. You can download them free. They're somewhat useful, especially as a guide for troubleshooting, but I still primarily use the Haynes. I'm still looking for something better.

If everyone read that manual, traffic on this site would drop by half.

Buy it from Helm. I have the paper manual that I use to work on my car, so I figured it would be nice to grab an electronic copy off of ebay so I'd have a copy on my laptop if I ever wanted to look anything up. The ebay idiot sent me the wrong manual, so I downloaded one from the free site, and the index tabs don't work, plus it is locked so I can't bookmark it. It's 1848 pages long, so if it's not indexed, then it's almost useless.
