I (obviously) prefer real books - I was just trying to think of a use for this electronic one of mine.

Have you tried uploading FSM PDFs on your Kindle thing? Does it zoom in better than I've described?

Just get an Ipad, than you can read your manual and search the forums while wrenching.

I never understood the E reader thing, they just seem like a poor mans Ipad. I like books or a proper tablet, never understood why they need an in between.

I know what you are saying - I bought a tablet for the children to play games on and I have tried reading PDFs on it - the e-reader has a more pleasant screen => they say it is designed for reading (which kind of makes you wonder what the tablets and laptops are designed to do!)
