[cisco-voip] cisco docs on amazon kindle 2

[Peter Slow]

I bought a kindle dx to read the SRND with while i was studying for my
IE. I wound up doing a lot of reading with it. it works okay, but you
are going to wind up doing one of two things:

reading the PDF version , and losing the ToC and link functionality
OR
sucking the web page into an ebook format and reading that, and losing
all the pretty diagrams and pictures in the SRND.

I keep each SRND/Guide in both formats on my kindle. Lately i've
realized that pretty much every cisco press book ever is available on
the kindle store, and it makes me sad i didnt ahve one sooner. My
kindle did a good job of letting me study without lugging a 1000 page
binder or my laptop around with me
