I've currently gotten into a few projects where I have to read a LOT of background information (hundreds of pages worth) and found that Amazon has a new app called "Send to Kindle" that becomes part of your "file" menu in word. It won't send every type of file format -- it can't handle excel spreadsheets, for example -- but word docs, PDFS, and other formats like that are easily uploaded.
I haven't joined the Apple iPad revolution yet -- although our office is migrating in that direction -- and for large documents, I hate to mess around with my computer, laptop computer, or print them out. The Kindle Fire is a nice little tablet for this application. (and I just thought I was saving bookshelf space at home)

I've sent many documents to my Kindle (Kindle 3, not the Fire), using the email address every Kindle owner recieves. It's very handy, and pleasurable to read from. What I am reading is seldom that pleasurable, but you get my meaning I'm sure.
