M5 pdf documentation unusable on a tablet

Does anyone else have a problem with the M5 documentation?  I want to carry the documentation in electronic form on a tablet.

1) The EOS M5 pdf documentation is unusable in the field with modest sized tablet screens. The 220 page pdf "Camera User Guide" actually has 440 pages shown two on a page. The type becomes too small to read on an 8 inch tablet.

2) A 136 page English language "Getting Started" manual (form CT0-B263) comes in paper form with the M5, but is not available as a pdf download. The downloadable "Getting Started" manual (form CEL-SW7ZA210) is only 13 pages long. The printed long form copy is multi-lingual, 0.5 inches thick, and unsuitable to carry in a camera bag.

I called Canon support, but there is no solution.
