I am considering this device and loading all my z/OS manuals onto it instead of lugging around a laptop or other, larger, device. It also seems that it would be easier to read since it can display eiher Landscape or Portrait. What do people here think of this? Am I just justifying my desires?
Personally all the ones I've tried have been too small to be readable and also hard to read. The new Kindle, and the equivelent from Illiad, may be better, I havn't seen either, but I'd suggest you "try before you buy". Also you'd need indexing facilities for the IBM manuals as the names are not descriptive. These things sould like a great idea but, IMO, so far the hype doesn't match the facts. When the first A4 display is available, at a reasonable price, I'll be first in line.
