TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I have been enjoying a new (to me) ebook reader--in my case the Cybook Opus.
Since they support .pdf files, I was wondering if anyone has seen them used
by customers as a highly portable documentation platform. I would think that
repair people in the field, for example, could make good use of them when
repairing complex machinery without having to have a computer nearby.
Of course, I suppose a tablet could also be used--but not with the excellent
battery life of the readers.
On the other hand, the present generation mostly has monochrome
screens--which is due to change next year with the release of color e-ink
displays, as I understand it.
Still, a pocketable reader under six ounces like mine might be useful in
some cases.
