Agreed! Even if they kept it a PDF and got rid of the *huge* margins, it would be vastly easier to use. However, the current manual is made much less painful to read by using evince since you can at least change pages while zoomed in ... something made exceedingly annoying by the built in pdf viewer. With the latest release of evince ( http://maemo.org/downloads/product/evince ... kindly polished and packaged up by etrunko http://etrunko.blogspot.com/ ) it has nearly reached the point where it is a superior drop in replacement for the built-in PDF viewer (maybe even the image viewer also as it handles images too) and Nokia should consider using this in their future firmware, IMHO. /Mike
