Hi Mark
I think you might need to get a Kindle Android app and wait for the Kindle version.
All the best

This is exactly what I've been waiting for. The idea of Detail & Scale going digital, is more convenient for me, and the price is perfect.
I don't own a table, nor do I really need one. When the kindle version is released, I'll download the free kindle App.for pcs.

The Kindle version of our book on the F3H Demon went live in the Amazon store just a few hours ago!

If you would also have a simple .pdf version (or something like that) that I can read on any pc or tablet, I would be interested as well.
If not possible (why?) can I have one readable on an windows 8 tablet?

I'm NOT a software engineer, but I think the Kindle/iPad format may be a lot more useful than the the PDF conversion. The Kindle App is available for free for phone, tablet and PC platforms. (at least in the US)

I now have a copy on my Nexus, Neet! The drawings and photos have a zoom capability that allows you to check out details more closely.. Thanks for the review, I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise.

Mark, the zoom feature using the App is very appealing to me. I just hope that the picture resolution is great enough so that when one zooms in, one can see those details.
