HTML books as android app
Just as experiment I put a public domain book into an android app (a webview, with state saving for rotation without the need to reload the starting
URL), which allows off-line reading of the book.
The book is the following: http://www.books-about-california.com/Pages/Experimental_Org...
The android app can be downloaded here, it is attached to this post. If you want to install the app, then allow installation of apps from unknown
sources on your android device, download it and put it in some directory and then just click/touch the apk file and it installs. Its launcher icon is
a model of the acetone molecule.
I intend to put more HTML books in android apps. For me it is a very convenient way of reading the book and it allows me to have the experiments with
me when I am in the lab and have no PC with internet nearby.
I only do this with books which are in the public domain. I do not want any trouble with copy right.
