Aren't end-user documents the ones that tell people how to use a product? I don't think it has to be software, although it could be. How about the one that comes with your VCR, electric razor, or bicycle?

I'm not sure what you mean by "end-user documentation" versus "software
documentation". I suppose that you're thinking of novice users versus
technical users. I can't advise you on novice user opportunities. By
choice I'm in the very techical end, writing documentation for software
developers.
