I tried  the other day to follow a calibration procedure in a HP
service manual and  was severely tempted to print all the 350 pages
of it because clearly using  pdf files on a laptop sucks when you
have one hand on the  probe...

Has anybody tried if amazons's Kindle is any good for such use  ?

I know the display is around 200 dpi resolution, but I wonder  if
the screen-size is too small for it to matter  ?

Not sure about the Kindle but I was very tempted by Sony's ebook reader a  
while back for use with pdf manuals.
 
However, a bit of online research suggested it can only zoom text  and not 
graphics, which would be a severe limitation with technical  manuals.
