I've tried importing various docs but the screen is just too small to be much use.I've recently started using a laptop at the table and it has really made a positive difference. I rarely have to scramble to find something, and when I do, <a href="http://www.copernic.com/" target="_blank">desktop search</a> speeds things along. I have the <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/" target="_blank">Hypertext d20 SRD</a> downloaded to my hard drive, as well as all my PDFs. Rule questions are resolved very quickly--no more flipping through books. My last tool is <a href="http://dmgenie.com/" target="_blank">DM Genie</a> which keeps track of all my PC, NPC, monster and campaign info. I'm only using about 1/10 of what it offers, but it's really made a big difference. Net result is I can focus better on the creative aspects of running because all the information I need is at my fingertips. Still use real dice, though. Doesn't seem right to use a pseudo-random number generator when PCs' lives are on the line.</blockquote>
