Yes they probably are (if you also include the FAR). But they do contain a LOT of information that isn't covered on a Private Pilot written exam. So the problem becomes figuring out which material is pertinent and which isn't. But if reading is your style and the easiest way for you to learn, everything you need can be had in text/pdf format.

I recommend getting a study program specifically for the written test(such as Gleim, Dauntless, King Schools, etc) as opposed to trying to obtain the information from text books like you do in high school/college courses.

You can register at Gold Seal and get full access to the entire Private Pilot knowledge test quizzing engine for free. But I would recommend trying to learn a bit more than just the answers to the questions.

Honestly if you just want to pass the written just do the crash course Shep, Gliem stuff. A weekend of throwing a few hours at it and you'll get a 85+ 90+ if you give a damn.
Theres so much info out there that to just try to do the FAR/AIM PHAK, AFM stuff leads you learning too much excess stuff that you'll promptly forget.
