There are those folks who just have to have a paper manual for their softwares and equipment.

The trend has been going the other way, though, saving trees and money, as it were, such that many companies are no longer including the paper manual with their products. Those of us who made the switch to the paperless office long ago don't mind this at all, but there are lots of people who have requested a paper manual for BiaB products.

Well, there is another way to go.

Here is a youtube video on how to use an Electronic Reader that was posted over on the Korg forum, where the same "problem" is a common complaint from a few folks.

You might consider jumping up into the 21st century and picking up one of these Electronic Readers.

Then you can have a separate manual anywhere you want to have it, with all sorts of extra features, such as Search lookup, etc.

Thanx for sharing this Mac. There is lots of good information here. I’ll have to look into this.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Hey Mac,

Here is a new one that looks like it's going to wipe the floor with everything available right now.

This is the one I would buy in a heartbeat!

I have a Kindle and I just love it - for novels and other books that I am going to read from beginning to end.

There is a freeware app that converts PDF and HTML to Kindle format. Ill tell you the name when I get home from work. Easy and fast.

The Kindle is NOT a good choice for books that get flipped through a lot - Bible, poetry, reference books - and this includes manuals. No E-Reader has an interface that comes close the the ability that regular books have for flipping and browsing until I find what want. After I get familiar with a book I seem to get a sense of where things are kinda by touch. I can flip through pages until it feels right to my fingers. No E-Boook can do this.

So I do indeed put my manuals oin the Kindle, but its a just-in-case kind of thing. The paper book is still the way to go when I have the choice.

The conversion program is called "Mobipocket Creator." Easy to find on the Web.

Yeah, I already mentioned that in a different threat. This is my workaroung with pdf manuals. If you use the free software calibre you can convert them in any other format eg. epub, mobi etc. and you can tag them. So I tag them "manual" and in my Sonyreader I have a different folder than for all my manuals that came as a file.

You can also get Stanza, Kindle, Barns & Noble Software as an iPhone app. That way, you have those manuals always right with you and can find out things pretty fast.Good thing is, Calibre can synch with the iPhone so it is very easy to get those pdf or epubs etc on you iphone or iPod touch.

While at one time it used to happen with alarming regularity, we haven't had a thread turn into a threat in a long time around here.

Ups, sorry, get that mixed up all the time. Happens, when English is not the native language. Hope you can forgive me for that.


So long,
