You mean some special hardware, or you mean ordinary ebook apps?

On my tablet I just open online manual in Firefox. There is also manual in pdf format, can't device render pdfs?

Skickat från min Samsung Galaxy-smartphone.

AFAIK, ebook readers can render HTML, but work much better with
dediacted formats.

FWIW, I converted the Emacs manuals to an ebook-reader-friendly format
many years ago, and automatic conversion resulted in a very poor
experience.  If someone volunteers to do a better job than Calibri, I'm
all for it!!!
