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.

Kindle wont work with PDF files.

Hi John-

Not true. I have the X1 .pdf on mine as we speak, just as I've had many others for a couple years now. It requires a conversion for the 1st gen Kindle, but that's a simple matter, and I believe the newer ones read pdfs natively.

The graphics aren't always great, but it's very definitely readable.

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.

About time someone turned over their X1 manual to the wife. Now Bub will have X1 working inside of 3 hrs.
Smooth move Bub.

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.

Hmmmmmm....a thought (or maybe lack thereof)

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? I mean, people wouldn't take one of these newfangled thingy doowhippies into "that" reading place......do you???
