A good way to get K3 documentation onto an iPad is to take the PDF  
files for the K3 Owner's manual, Programmer's Manual and schematics  
from the Elecraft web site and drop them into the Books section of  
iTunes' Library.

You then connect the iPad, navigate into the iPad's Books section in  
iTunes and perform a Sync.

Done.

Your searchable documentation are now in the PDF shelf of iBooks in  
the iPad.   You can magnify the K3 schematics to where you can  
actually read it :-).

I don't use my iPad to surf the web or to read email on -- but it is  
chock full of PDF documents (patents, white papers, manuals,  
schematics).  Much easier than riffling through binders for printed  
documents.

If you have some document that is not in PDF form, just print it in  
Mac OS X, but then select the PDF option (button on bottom left of the  
print dialog) to create a PDF file, which you can download to the  
iPad.  You can remove and insert individual PDF pages using  
Preview.app, so it is easy to merge two manuals, or insert some of  
your own notes pages into a manual, before downloading them to the iPad.
