Sounds cool!

I just activated my Kindle.  I mailed myself the PDF of gawk.1 (of course).
At fit-to-screen it's too small, but rotated and increased size it's better.

As an emergency place to keep the Plan 9 manuals, it sure beats lugging
around all that paper. :-)  I'll be experimenting some more.

Thanks!
