      @boneidol perhaps convert it to pdf on a GNU/Linux box. Btw. I bet the file is called book.ps, isn't it?

          @mcsx it does seem that a # PostScript viewer is something android lacks #

            @boneidol I don't think there's much demand for an Android Postscript viewer. People are used to other ebook file formats today

      OK worked it out. Put together a trivial web service built on ps2pdf. Write an application to use the service. Require the application to have full control over android devices. Harvest data. #

        @boneidol I bet there are already ps2pdf webservices you can just use with the browser :-)

          @boneidol You should have been the 1st to write a VNC client for android. The author was earning 10k € per month from this app.
