Feb 18, 2011 10:58:43 With the swelling of tablets and e-reader on the market, I wanted to ask the community here what their preferred interface is. Kindle? Nook? Something else?

What device do you find works best for D&D/graphic-heavy .pdfs?

Mar 07, 2011 14:34:35 Yeah... I love my Kindle, but I wouldn't recommend it for Dragon/Dungeon PDFs. I haven't tried any other readers, so I don't have any positive recommendation.

Mar 07, 2011 16:43:06 How do people find character sheet PDFs on a Kindle? I've been wondering about getting one for a while now, as I've a birthday coming up - it would be brilliant if I could use it to save paper on printing out character sheets and LFR mods...

Haven't tried it. In general, though, I'm not a huge fan of PDFs on Kindle. I pretty much stick to reading books on mine, and it's beyond great for that. I quickly lost interest in using it to read .docs/pdfs for work.

Mar 10, 2011 13:47:32 I got a Kindle for my last birthday and would love to find an actual use for the thing. I'd love to get the rulebooks on that thing, don't care that they'd be in b&w.

Later on,
