Message: <blockquote data-quote="Had.enough" data-source="post: 3434054" data-attributes="member: 87651">I bought the PDF version for my tablet. What a shocking, awful experience that was.Buying it was easy.Then I had to register with Adobe, install a software package on my partner's PC. (My PC is Linux, and wouldn't run the software).After fathoming how to register this PC with Adobe, I was able to download the book. This  took about 40 minutes.Add another 30 minutes to copy the file (287mb) onto my tablet, and install the app needed to run this PDF, register this app with Adobe, and you are nearly there.So it opens in this app (aldiko), and you can read the book if you are prepared to scroll one page at a time, and with a small delay between page turns.The file won't open with android Adobe acrobat.I would advise steering clear of the epdf version, on android unless you can strip out the drm which would enable it to be read  via Adobe acrobat with a presumably slicker experience!</blockquote>
