Don't read this document like you would a work of fiction. If you need
to know something, look it up. Otherwise, let it collect dust like all
your other technical manuals.
;)
How about:
This document is not intended to be read chapter for chapter. Use it as
a reference when you need to look up feature information.
Or something like that.
FWIW, I never pay attention to these "instructions" in manuals I own.
I'll read it however I want. ;)
