I'm going in..

Going to read the manual and associated PDF files for X1 today. Also digging into the .ini files to see if there is anything new there. If you don't hear from me for awhile, send help.

Forget the oxygen tank... send hot buttered rum!

Come on, you guys...you know we can't send rum unless we know that the environment is not flammable!  And if he's reading manuals, there's no telling how dry it is in there!

I'm doing the same.  Page 93 so far, in other words barely scratched the surface, but dog gone it, everytime I check something on the program it turns into 20 minutes of playing around.  At this rate I should finish about the time X3 comes out.

Oh and a nice 18 year old Single Malt Scotch should get me through this.

Send dog with rum definitely.

LOL!
 

Billy I did that with another app, printed the sections I thought I would want. Turns out the ones I needed I didn't print out. Bummer.

Ol Pal mentioned Kindle as a way to have a manual with one where ever one is. Kindle wont work with PDF files.  But a book reader that did and was in the same price range would be very interesting.

1800 + pages is an awful lot of pages. Have fun Middleman.

Yes, it does. The original Kindle didn't support PDF, but Kindle 2 and newer has native PDF reading support.

My wife has the new Kindle. I just plugged it in to USB port on my PC, transferred the X1 Manual PDF over, and it pulled right up.

Outstanding! That was the thing that was holding me back from getting one. Thanks for that good news.

The first-gen Nook can also read PDF's, although you lose the some of the formatting and indentation if you zoom in.  Don't know if the newer Nooks do any better, but I think the native book format is better than PDF on the Nook.

I've been thinking; I would consider either the iPad or the Kindle DX for PDF reading.  They both have bigger form-factors.

I have to get better informed. Thanks all. There is a Kindle 2? Wow.

Actually, there's a Kindle 3. I got one for XMas but I prefer the "old" K1 I already have.

Why would I want to download a 1800+ page manual into a smaller viewing space when I've already got a 23" that I can zoom in on and read while I have x1 chugging along?

They're great on trains, planes, in waiting rooms, etc., etc. It's not either/or. Anything you have on a Kindle can also be read full-sized on the PC with a Kindle PC app, plus they both remember where you were when you left off on the other, which is nice.

And yes, sometimes I do...!

Gee, how refreshing to see a thread about users actually reading the manual!

Whew, this changes everything (copyright Bapu) LOL

I knew somehow I would end up wanting one after my somewhat cheeky post

John

I take my rarely used little netbook with me ;) I can listen to music while reading in the potty lol

Thats just pure luxury!

hehe ;)
 
 

Why not try some free trials of the professional tools dealing with PDF files an then make your choice? It's much more reasonable, I think.
