Only slightly off topic I guess.

Only slightly off topic I guess.
The proliferation of documentation makes it hard to keep the right stuff at hand, as well as any docs I would like read.
Printing and stapling/binding just doesn't work well anymore.
Has anyone had good success with using the Kindle for Oracle docs and other technical documentation?
The Kindle does have some limitations, such as a 200 file limit.
That shouldn't be a problem, as most of us probably only need a few
documents
out of the documentation set. Though I would like them for 9i, 10gR2 and
11gR2.
An iPad or other tablet would work, but Kindle has the following benefits:
- better battery life
- easier to read, especially outdoors
- smaller form factor makes it easier to tote
- and finally, a lot less $$$ than a tablet computer.
TIA!
