Pretty early on I discovered that the US Foreign Services Institute courses (used by the government to train diplomats for overseas postings) can be downloaded free of charge as PDFs.
It turns out these courses are very comprehensive (some are several volumes, each over 1000 pages long) and there was no way I could print them out, and reading them on my laptop screen gave me a headache. I bought an iRex DR1000, and put a bunch of these FSI courses on it. It has made a heck of a difference - so that I now study these courses for several hours a day.
