Reloading manuals for Kindle?

Anyone know of any in .mobi, .epub or even .pdf or .html?

Several powder manufacturers have .pdf manuals you can download. Seems kind of cumbersome to me to look for load data on a small screen Kindle. You can get to the information much quicker with a bound book and cross-reference to other manuals with all the data sitting in front of you in real time.

I can see where an electronic version of reloading manuals would have a use and this is off topic a bit but

My daughter gave me her old laptop when she upgraded, I put in a 30 dollar battery and bought a interface for 50 bucks which connects to my chronograph. The software with the interface allows me remote control of the chrono and stores all the data. The I installed Open Office which is a great freeware Office program for keeping a simple range database. Added some free ballistics software which I found online and it is now my range book. I back it up to my desktop when I get home.

I will never go back to a paper range log, reload manual

So far the only one is the ABCs of Reloading, Reloading 101 and Handguners.

Warning about the ABCs of reloading. I purchased the kindle version a couple months ago, and they did a poor job of doing the transfer. As far as I could tell all the the pages were there, but some were out of order.

You might take a look at LoadData.com. I don't know if it will work with kindle, but it's worth a look. http://www.loaddata.com/members/search.cfm

What weight and type of bullet do you use to shoot a Kindle?

Don't know if Marco was serious or not. A Kindle is Amazon.coms e-reader. You read electronic books on it. It can also read the PDF format.
