Question Preferred source for PDF owners manuals, etc

My 2015 A8L was recently delivered and I've been searching everywhere for PDF manuals. It doesn't appear Audi publishes PDF manuals, but they still seem to crop up. Does anyone have a preferred source for getting these books in PDF? Are they available to dealers so I might ask my salesman?

To clarify, I'm not looking for illegal copies of repair manuals, etc. that are for sale, just the documentation that comes with the car.

Thanks

There are no PDF owners manuals available that I'm aware of, but sure would like one myself.
Printed manuals are available here.
I originally ordered a second set to keep in my office as I got used to the new vehicle systems, but they are handy reference for questions here now.

Official factory repair manuals are available in PDF format from erWin.
There is a $35 cost for 24 hour access or $1,100 for a year.

Thanks for the reply. Not what I was hoping for, but it will save me the trouble of searching for no reason.

I just bought one for my A8. I'm hoping I don't need to use it, but I like doing all my own work. I've seen too many disasters from dealers... I like to give my car Loving care.

Default PDF is now available (online only/no copy) via Audi USA website

Actually, while you can't download that I can figure out, they are available online from the Audi USA site now. Here: Audi Online Owner's Manual

You just need to throw your VIN in and presto. Or any VIN for that matter if you are thinking about a used Audi and pull the VIN off a listing on dealer's website, Autotrader, etc.

You can get to both the Owner's Manual and the Nav/MMI manual. Make sure by the way to copy/paste your VIN in if you will be reading a good while. It checks you out after a while and you have to back out to log in screen and reenter it to get it to work. The 2015 is really just like the printed manual from my use of it before I picked up my CPO a few weeks ago. From having both devices, it formats and is easier to turn pages on an iPad or other tablet than a laptop. Laptops give you two pages side by side, while a decent sized tablet will give you a nice single page set up you just flip through with touch screen, or go into some part of from T of C.
