A thousand years ago when I first got into Vettes there was a service manual offered in the car. There was a coupon for Helm service manuals in the back of the owners manual. pdf, what's a pdf?

I love having my service manuals in pdf format. I use my tablet while working on my car...I wonder how many people do the same...I used to be worried about getting grease on the tablet but after a year of doing it and using a little Plexus cleaner after work I find that the tablet is amazing. No grease stained pages in my Haynes manuals or whatnot. Plus the built in hyperlinks make navigating the service manuals a snap.
I almost want to buy one of those Google glass contraptions for working on my car now. Imagine having a HUD while working under the car and being able to navigate the manual by voice! Ah technology, how I love thee

Portable document format. It is a universal format invented by Adobe Systems. It's purpose is to allow everyone to read a file without having to purchase Word, Word Perfect or any of the many other software products which were and still are expensive. The Adobe reader is free to everyone and allows you to read PDF documents.

Yes, that would be cool. Imagine a step further where the screen displays an image of the engine bay in your view, overlaying the actual engine you are looking at. Then it highlights the part you need to address.

Despite the fact that I have access to Mitchell OnDemand, I like to have my own copy of the full service manual as well. The Helm website indicates that it won't be available until next Spring.

You may be able to get one sooner thru the dealer. Ask an employee to order it for you to take advantage of their employee discount.

I'm sure someone will be selling the GM Service VM software on ebay soon. Then it's like you're a tech at a dealership. Bring up the exact same system they use at the dealer with the manual.
It's a little nicer than the PDF cause all the links work and take you to the correct page in the manual.
