I did it, too, with my first couple of DSLRs. I won't claim to have read every single word on every single page. I probably skimmed some of the very dry technical stuff. I did read carefully the info about how to use the camera.
However, I must say that I found the Pentax user guides to be very badly written. I found the Magic Lantern guides (for example,
the K10D guide by Peter Burian) to be much better than the Pentax user guide, so I purchased those guides for the K100D (my first DSLR) and the K10D (my second). And I read THEM from start to finish.
I hasten to add that, like TaoMaas, I don't remember everything I read.
