AndroidTablet and AS

I am thinking of buying an android tablet, never had one before and I'm rather hoping that it would be possible to install AS help files on it? :mrgreen:

I don't think so, but why would you want to?

The help file is in chm format and a quick search suggests there are a number of chm readers on android.

Thanks Nick, found a couple to try. Just thought it would be nice to just read up about AS whilst relaxing on the sofa! :D

Calibre will convert the chm file to epub or mobi so you can read it in ebook format if you don't like the natve Android readers.
