I've been reading through every document they've told us to read, and let me tell you...it's TEDIOUS. Over 100 pages in the AIM alone! Still haven't finished all the materials they suggested, and i've been going at it for a while now, for 2-4 hours a day (depending on the day).

Nearly finished though, then i'll focus on the POH stuff and battling my own personal demons relating to IFR information.

Tpauly, all the stuff they tell you to read before hand (aside from the POH) is pretty basic stuff. It's all instrument procedures essentially. Like mentioned already, the POH which is in the crew room is easily accessible if you just google it.

I do have a question for the rest of you guys though. Would it be beneficial to have a printed paper copy of the POH? I looked into it and itll cost about 130 bucks to have it printed up at Office Depot. Not sure if I should spend the money or just print out the important documents (speeds/weights/etc)
I think you brought up a good point... You do need to be up on your IFR skills and procedures.

Definitely NOT worth the $130 to print the AFM. I referenced it a handful of times and the .pdf will be on your training iPad.
