I do like the PDFs. I have all the CICS and z/OS system PDFs downloaded to my PC and on my Kindle DX. I don't like reading them on my PC due to the PDFs being designed to be read on a device in portrait orientation. They don't look so good on my PC screen. Especially the ones, like the Principles of Operation, which are not in single column format. The other plus to my Kindle is that I can read it outside in strong sunlight. Or laying back in my recliner.
