[QUOTE="nedjer, post: 5617484, member: 83796"] Access to a mix of tablets at work and elsewhere has let me try out a bunch of tablets with a load of file types. We've played repeatedly with an iPad2 and a Galaxy Tab 10.1" using html versions of RPG Treasure viewed offline through Safari or Firefox. The tablet 'experience' is pretty unbeatable, as your browser tools are all there at the same time, everything moves around real fast and multitasking OSs flick seamlessly between PC sheets, the rules, (agreed) messaging, media sites . . . Treasure is made for this, but 'live' online html services, i.e. D&D Insider, work very, very well and my offline Traveller and White Box SRDs in html are a dream to use. PDFs, are, basically not the same experience. Taking a screenshot, calling up a dice roller, metagame messaging and much more all gets a bit bogged down with the rules in PDF - for now. The result is that all the browsery, web 'feel' goes out of the user experience. You still get a lightweight, bookmarked equivalent of a timber book, but the PDF route is much like getting an apple instead of a toffee apple. [/QUOTE]
