As far as reading a PDF page from a manual on the Amazon Fire, conceder this;

Wiki - Kindle Fire
"Excluding its external border the screen is a little larger than a 4x6 picture."

Reading an e-book would be just fine with those dimensions. Although some may want, or need, a larger screen.

Think about it this way, imagine an orchestra trying to read a PDF of sheet music from a 4 x 6 screen.

I'm not disappointed in the Amazon Fire, I may even get one for reading. It's just not what I need.
