etherio Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 For what it's worth, I found an app that works well for me for using my Hero book pdfs on my Android: 'Repligo'...$3.99 in the marketplace. It has a full-page mode and a more readable mode that nicely streamlines the text into one column at a readable size wit images and tables intact. You can also access the bookmarks from any page, and they're organized well. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Re: Hero Games books on Android I will check that out. I have a bare-bones PDF reader on my Android phone, but I've never tried to read Hero books on it, basically just small PDFs I've prepared for myself with lists of things I want to reference or remember.

etherio Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Re: Hero Games books on Android It's the best I've found, and I've tried a few losers. The features that make it stand out for me are: - A very nice 'reading mode' that streamlines things similar to an ebook reader...very easy to read and retains most formatting (except for imperfect but still usable tables) - Easy switch between full page and reader mode - Excellent bookmark presentation that is accessible from the menu from any page Only problem I've noticed is a search function that's too slow to be useful in the big rulebooks. In my opinion, though, the bookmarks more than make up for it. The index and 'go to page' are enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
