Hi

From personal experience something like an iPad (or large screen tablet of your choice) is better suited for manuals and textbooks.

And this solves the .pdf on Kindle problem how?

Just finished reading 400 pages PDF book on my DXG. Page turning was OK, but kinda slow. I also have tons of other PDFs ob my Kindle. And sometimes to display a page with image can take forever. So I am not sure if Kindle is not gonna blow up when opening 400 megs book.
