Viewing Oracle docs on a Kindle?

I'm thinking of buying a Kindle, solely to view technical PDFs.
Has anyone viewed the Oracle doc PDFs (e.g., from tahiti.oracle.com) on a Kindle? I understrand PDF viewability is kind of hit-or-miss.

I owned a kindle and read Oracle documents on mine before I sold it and yes the readiblity was great. My only problem was when reading text books. I realized that reading text books the old way was better for me than on an e-reader. So I sold mine. It was not because of look and feel of the document, but I could not just nevigate faster making references, checking souces back and forward.

    Initially I had downloaded Document 2 (Free) application to view my doc, ppt and xls files. I was not able to edit the files so there was an option for upgrade the Document-2 free to paid version. I have upgraded the Document 2 application. But on my iPad now there are to application present Docemnt-2 (Free) and Document-2. I am not able to open any existing document using the upgraded version of application. How do I connect all the existing txt,PPT,XLS doccument to the new upgraded Document-2 application and then to edit it on my iPad.

    As suggested I had deleted the free application and did a hard restart the iPad. I have again copied the document using iTunes. But I am not able to edit any document using this app. Document 2 (paid version) supports editing features of the txt/ xls /ppt files. Is there any problem while loading the Document 2 app. If I reload then do I need to purchase again?

  • How do I view word docs on lion?

    How do I view word docs on lion? I just downloaded Lion in order to get icloud to work and am hating it so far. It's super slow, my address book keeps freezing and now I can't access my word files. Any advise out there?

    TextEdit will open Word documents.
    For the problems you are otherwise describing I recommend:
    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Looking for Oracle Doc on RAC...

We are running mainly a data warehouse shop here and we are trying to best configure our Network for this...things like NIC cards (1 gb 2, 2gb, etc, etc), InterConnect, etc, etc...anything would help us.

  • Cannot open Videos, PDF-Viewer and Doc.viewer

    When It try to open Videos, PDF-Viewer or Doc.viewer it loads the program but never ends. Always there is only the moving waiting symbol but the loading process never ends. Also, I cannot watch Quicktime movies anymore in the Pixi-Browser which worked before, too.
    I am not really sure, because I have my Pixi just for some days: I guess it worked before and after the last update to webos 1.4.5 it doesn't work anymore. Can there be a relation to the update?
    Has anybody else that problem? Who can help? Thanx for suggestions!!
    Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121ueu (02)

    Thanks Alan,
    for some reasons it works now. I even couldn't install any programs anymore. How it worked again: Before I wanted to restart the phone, I pluged it into my PC (USB-Drive) and backed up my Motion Classic Backups just to make sure I don't lose them. Then, I saw that I had 2 Excel-Sheets and 1 Word-Dokument in the main folder of my pixi. I moved them into a new folder.
    After disconnecting the pixi from my PC it restarted itself and for some reason, now, it installed all programs I tried to install before (and didn't worked). Now, it all works. I can start PDF-Viewer, Doc.viewer and Videos and see all documents. Puhh, I am glad.
    I don't know, why the malfunction happened. My Pixi crashes from time to time because of my Motion Classic. I am very unhappy about the instability of Classic. But that is maybe how some things changed in webOS.
    Anyway, thank you for the webOs Doctor-Link!
    Nick

  • I have a password protected Numbers document I created on my MAC and share via DROPBOX. Is there any way to simply view this doc on my IPAD without purchasing NUMBERS for the IPAD?

    I use NUMBERS on my MAC to create a password protected document.  I share this doc via DROPBOX.  Is there any way I can view the doc on my IPAD without purchasing NUMBERS for the IPAD?  The doc opened fine on the IPAD before protecting it with a password.

    Using the term "opened" may have been incorrect on my part.  Before password protection, I simply viewed the doc by selecting it within my DROPBOX app.  No revisions could be made, but I could view the doc.    Now, with the doc password protected, the IPAD states this file can not be viewed.
    The IPAD users guide gives a list of files IPAD can view. Unfortunately, I find no info on how to open/view that file should it be protected. If

  • MySQL documentation,.... will it ever look as good as Oracle docs?

    This is probably the wrong place, and probably has a tiny chance of ever happening,... (and pardon the rant),...
    I hate the layout of MySQL documentation. IMHO it looks plain awful and I find it difficult to read with all the URL link colors, use of upper/lower case, underlining. I am really hoping that some day Oracle will rewrite it in a decent format.
    Compare,...
    MySQL doc page:
    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/repair-table.html
    Oracle doc page:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/backrec.htm#i1007289
    Is there even a remote chance this might happen? Do others get the same headache reading MySQL docs as I do? Perhaps I need to shell out $$ for some books?...

    Thanks. Just removing the self-referencing URL's (the REPAIR TABLE clause references the same page 20 times) would be a start!

  • Oracle doc inconsistent on materialize view with union all and self joins

    First of all, I can't seem to create a materialized view containing self-joins AND union all. Is it possible?
    I checked Oracle 9i (my version: PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production) documentation and I get different answers (or so it seems to me).
    First I saw this: "The COMPATIBILITY parameter must be set to 9.0 if the materialized aggregate view has inline views, outer joins, self joins or grouping sets and FAST REFRESH is specified during creation..."
    Did you see the part about 'self joins' in there? I did and I was pumped because that seems to say that you CAN have 'self joins' (and my compatibility is 9.2...)
    BUT
    In the very same document I also found "Oracle does not allow self-joins in materialized join views." (rage)
    You can see the document I am speaking of here: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96520/mv.htm#574889
    Whenever I try to create the mview I get the following error. (
    In any caseORA-01446 cannot select ROWID from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.

  • Viewing word docs and PDFs

    I want to put word docs or PDFs on my touch. I read that I can save the word docs as PDF and put it in photos or save them as txt and put them in notes, but my computer recognizes my touch as a camera and won't let me drop things in the root folder. I already did the thing where I tell my computer not to ask me what to do with the camera when I connect it, but it still thinks it's a camera. Is there anything I can do to make this work?

    Your touch is not a disk drive per se like the old iPod classics or nanos and therefore you won't be dropping anything into it. You can certainly view Word documents and pdfs that are e-mailed to you, however. You can use WiFi to copy files to your touch if you purchase and install the correct apps. Check in the App Store for Documents to Go and similar programs.
    Disabling the camera notification is detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    This covers Win 7 and Vista but there is a link to an XP version.

  • Invalid Materialized view Oracle 8

    Hi,
    I have a problem with a Invalid materialized view in Oracle 8.
    this view is in a .sql file. When the SQL file runs and the view is invalid the the loading is stopped.
    Does anyone know if it's possible in Oracle 10 that Oracle solves the problem (with the view) it self, or that I have to repair it myself and run the file again?
    thanks for the help
    kinds regards,
    Richard van der Haag

    Richard,
    There is nothing that on MV gets done automatically in 10g. Please post your query and we will see where the error is.

  • DISTINCT in SELECT statements for  Entities / Views - Oracle JDeveloper 11G

    Hi Steve,
    i have a question about using DISTINCT in SELECT statements for
    Entities / Views. On Oracle JDeveloper 11G ADF / BC4J
    --- This is unique---
    SELECT
    distinct(GC."course_title"),
    GC.SEC_GRP_PARENT_ID,
    from "grp_courses" GC
    --- This is NOT unique, but ROWID seems to be mandatory as PrimaryKey---
    SELECT
    distinct(GC."course_title"),
    GC.SEC_GRP_PARENT_ID,
    rowid
    from "grp_courses" GC
    How to use this query;
    SELECT
    distinct(GC."course_title"),
    GC.SEC_GRP_PARENT_ID,
    from "grp_courses" GC
    and yet still be able to use it in View / Entity without a Primary Key or some equivalent solution.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi, OK - I got it to work...
    Some notes:
    1) The View wizard cannot be initiated from the Entity Object.
    2) During the View wizard process - do not associate with Entity
    3) Selected columns must be mapped as expressions
    4) Using non-distinct columns will override the distinct function
