The Camaro being a unique vehicle and is not bundled with other vehicles should be no more that 8 thousand pages long. My Wifes Terrain Thumbdrive if i was to print it out would top out at 11,000 pages! My Suburban Thumbdrive is a more Reasonable 9900 pages lol. The advantage the thumbdrive has over the paper is its hyperlinked which will jump to the section that you need when in a job. I have looked for my 2023 on Helm but i dont think it will be there as GM wants you to use their system. I will just have be content with Alldata for now.

Indeed, all the graphs, diagrams, index, TOC and text sections are hyperlinked in the electronic version, which is super convenient.
Unfortunately, the official service manual comes on a copy protected USB stick that autoruns the decryption software when you plug it in(to a Windows machine), so it can't be used on Linux, or a phone, or even removed from the port during use. Another example of screwing paying customers over, while pirated copies downloaded from wrz sites have no limitations.
