I hesitate to say anything that would discourage anyone from buying a bunch of Kindles, but I don't think it's the ideal device for this application.
Working on the assumption that a company board member is likely to own a laptop (is that a valid assumption, BarkNDog?), then I would think it's much easier to push the documents to the laptops - and easier for the recipient to read, search, etc. in the document.
All you need is a simple script that checks a URL for the presence of the doc; if it's available, the script would download it and open it in a web browser or PDF viewer. The script would have to be installed on each user's machine, but presumably we're talking about a small number of people. Once installed, the script could be set to run under Windows Scheduler, so that it does the check, say, once a day. The user wouldn't need to do take any special action: the document would just appear on their desktop so-many days before the board meeting.
Having said all that, if the boss is determined to do the job with Kindles, no doubt you could find some way of doing it. But that would be a case of choosing the job for the tool, when it should be the other way round.
