Thank you for the reply

1) I use IE as that is our corporate standard and we are not allowed to install 
anything else. This may be the cause but I cannot see the 5 stacked horizontal 
lines.
2) I find the use of KC a significant degradation to the previous interface and 
given the amount of kvetching I'm wondering if a usability study was done on 
the new interface before releasing it - specifically having the target audience 
in the study.
3) I dislike PDF's on my mobile (iphone/ipad) but they work - an epub would be 
great providing the search and link capabilities were available.

Sorry for coming late to this party. Let me address two items...

<snip>
...  but I miss the tree-driven system ...
</snip>

As others have pointed out in this thread, the new KC still has the tree 
structure TOC, same as in the old KC. It's just now closed by default. To 
display it on any page, click on the blue icon of five stacked irregular-length 
horizontal lines near the top left of the page. (FWIW, this and other 
potentially missable new features are explained in the short KC video tour that 
is linked on the KC main page - I *highly* recommend that all KC users, even 
IBMers, view it: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/about/videotour.mp4 
.)

I read PDF's on my mobile all the time. Spend a lot of time swiping to expand 
'em but sometimes you gotta have the answer right now.

Yes, PDFs can be rough on a mobile. What do you think of ePubs instead?
