I like to read the game manuals on my tablet. I know I can send them to the device. However, is it possible for Matrixgames to include the download link for all its game manuals on the forum for download? Maybe make a section called Manuals and then registered users can download them easily.

Thanks

If you use an iPad, you have iBooks on it. Just open the file in an app and tell it to use iBooks. (or was it send to iBooks). You can send the pdf to iBooks straight from Safari too.

Status: offline 		Thanks guys, I downloaded the Adobe app for my Kindle and then I look at them there. I was at my tablet and decided to look at a manual but it was on my computer. That's why I thought it would be convenient to have them on the website at that time.

Oh you lucky man, 2 monitors!

I have 2 monitors and TV with HDMI input. Unfortunately only 1 monitor fits on my desk (flanked by speakers, PC, and printer) and desktop doesn't scale up right on the TV, so no playing nor reading on that one.

If you take an android tablet, won't it turn you into a cyborg?

I think a tablet like that would have to cost as much as six million dollars, man!

To get manuals on to the iPad, I usually copy them to Dropbox and then open on my iPad from Dropbox, then export to the Kindle app. Sounds complicated but it takes about 30 seconds. I've probably got about 50 manuals on my iPad at this point.

Great idea...I've got a Galaxy Note. I'll have to see if I can do the same!?

Is the Galaxy note a full tablet or a phablet?

Note that while you can read pdfs in the Kindle app, you don't have all Kindle features, such as increasing font size, so for me it is difficult to read pdf manuals on anything smaller than a full tablet.
