We already offer PDF manual, and it's 131 pages. I hate to admit
that I am responsible for most of the bloat, but I don't see how
we can remove any large portion of it without sacrificing the
quality (and thus helpfulness) of the manual.

The manual readable for the geeks is probably aimed at the wrong
crowd. The manual for Aunt Martha has to be detailed enough.
Where are we in this tradeoff?

I am open to suggestions though :-)
