What kind of tablet device do you have? (2) The print to pdf functionality seems much improved in version 8. Couldn't you print the documentation to pdf page sizes formatted for your tablet device? (I know there's a script floating around for printing all the documentation --- does anyone recall the exact post?) (3) Suggestion (2) would kinda suck... no cross-links. Yet another reason it would be neat if we could somehow dump the documentation into a MediaWiki type of format. -RG
