This was posted previously on the list to load up man pages using Preview:

man -t bash | open -a preview -f

Maybe that would do a better job. Of course you would replace bash with whatever command you actually wanted man pages for. I found it was somewhat readable with VO but sometimes jumped around a bit. For example, it sometimes would jump to the footer to read that and then come back up to where I was reading elsewhere on the page.

is there an easier to get info on a command in terminal. the man pages read,

said.

there has to be another, better way. I have also tried the online html pages 
that are recoded man pages, only to get a similar result (meaning that the 
reading of these pages is not smooth and feels entirely broken).
