You could push documents to Kindles on the same account via Whispernet, or copy them to the Kindles via USB. You would have to register them all to the same account. You could then email them to the Kindle email address to use Whispernet. However, that costs $.15 per megabyte. Connecting via USB would be easier and cheaper.

However, you probably don't want to use the Kindle web browser, because it is very limited.

Also, unless you are going to use Kindle DX's, the documents are likely to be too large (physical page size) to easily view on a Kindle screen well. Also, it is not easy to flip back and forth between large chunks of pages.

You can use Mobipocket Creator to convert .doc to .mobi format, and keep some formatting, but tables, for example are not supported, except as embedded images, which have size limitations.

How can someone be qualified to be on a board of directors and be computer illiterate???
