It was thinking that the nook would be a good device to have around to view man pages, seeing as how there never seems to be enough real estate on the PC's screen. I had to find a web page that reflowed the man pages, since they are usually formatted for 80 columns, then use Google's mobilizer to remove frames and otherwise make it more nook friendly. Here's what I came up with as a good link:
http://google.com/gwt/x?u=http://linux.die.net/man/. This displays pretty nicely in the nook's browser.
It would be nice to have offline man pages, too. Does anyone know of an effort to put man pages in epub format?
