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!
