i was wondering the same thing, new manuals are pretty pricy..
Do you have a link to an item so we can see what you're looking at? Workshop Manual (WSM) is the way to go but as you noted, kind of pricey. They do pay for themselves the first time or 2 you use it.
I recommend Messick's for getting the manual (and other parts). They're the co-sponsor of this site and help keep this site going.

Here is a link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-KUBOTA...anuals_Literature&vxp=mtr&hash=item3cc09b023b
I have the Kubota stuff I would just like a searchable version that I can print a page and destroy in my garage with my usually oily hands.

You gotta do what you gotta do. 
So, that said, if you do buy that item, be advised:
- This is not necessarily an OEM WSM.
- It's being sold to you from outside the country. I'm willing to bet it's illegal copies of copyrighted material. Read the feedback, especially the negatives.
- Read the description carefully. The material "may be outdated".
- It's a private sale. I guess that's there way of making you believe their protecting their customers (although the e-bay feedback option negates all of that now doesn't it?).
I know it's nice to have a PDF version because of the reasons you stated.
I do OK with a hardcopy since it's either general maintenance that you just skim through before starting (e.g. locations of grease points, capacities...). If it wasn't so reliable and I found myself in the manual a lot, I'd want throw-away pages as well. My 2 solutions for that are 1) the copier on my printer and 2) baby wipes. I always keep a tub of baby wipes in the shop. Easy to grab to clean hands or whatever else. I like the Huggies brand.
