Hi,

I've found a combination that makes reading docs (e.g. pdf) a pleasure on my laptop.

  1. Get a laptop with at least a 15in diagonal screen and resolution of 1280x800. The screen quality makes a big difference.
  2. Use Acrobat where you can use the "Note Tool" to save comments in the pdf files. With the navigation panel on the left, you can tab to "comments" and flip back and forth between different notes just like book tabs.
  3. Pdf also provides the option to search, one document at at time, while "off-line" from the internet. I wish I knew a way to do "off-line" search the Oracle html documentation like you can at: http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.homepage But, my laptop is not a very powerful html (nor pdf) search engine. :-)

When I know what I'm searching for and select the correct pdf, then its better than flipping pages. But, if I'm generally lost then the html search of Oracle documentation is the fastest way to get good doc details for a specific Oracle version.

HTH. Regards,

Mike Thomas
