I am getting antzy waiting for my iRex (if it will ever come!). I figure what I should do is prepare the myriad of manuals I have to be displayed on the iRex. Most of these manuals are in PDF form. I will probably have to put a bunch of bookmarks in to increase accessibility in these manuals. Most of these manuals are formatted 8.5 X 11.

What would be the best way to format documents for display on the iRex? Would it be better to be in a doc, pdf, or html format? Is there any viewer on the iRex that is faster on the page turns than the other? How do they handle bookmarks? How should the documents themselves be formatted for the best display? I have Adobe Acrobat 6 and but I am no expert in it's use. Looking up some of the help files on Adobe it says that you should make sure the files are "tagged" for display on varying electronic mediums, I accomplished this on one file so far, I will do more when I get home as I am on the road with the laptop and the tagging is fairly extensive load on the laptop. I also have MS Word which I am somewhat familiar with. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
