Food for thought: Amazon Kindle DX for pilots
When browsing my local amazon web site a couple of days ago I noticed that they are now shipping the Kindle DX (the famed ebook reader) worldwide - and since it now has full fledged pdf support I wondered if it would be of any use for us flight crew. The screen is now about A5 size (so it matches most OM hard copies)... How neat would it be to carry all company OMs, ICAO and JAA (pardon: EASA) docs in your flight kit? So - I was wondering if anyone was already using one for this purpose... What are your thoughts on this? My company doesn't and probably will not use a class 2 or 3 EFB anytime soon (which would essentially allow you to do the same), so I am quite tempted to give this a shot.
