First thing I do with new equipment/appliance manuals is either find and
save an on-line pdf version or scan them in as a pdf image document. By
keeping all such in digital form, I can either find them later if needed
as reference or make them large enough to read easily.
Wife's iPad2 booklet this December was so small I had to scan at 300 ppi
instead of usual 150 ppi to get decently formed font and could barely
read the original hard copy even with my reading glasses!
Guess we should be thankful IBM chose bookmanager and pdf to save trees
rather than reducing z/OS manuals to 3x5 and microprint.

Last year I got an brand new IPAD. The installation instructions were on
a 3 X 5 in a 4 page "booklet". The font size was 4 and I could not read
it to save my life. I had to get a friend to come over to read them so I
could do the "install".
Bah humbug so much APPLE being user friendly.
