The Margin edition
The PDF is laid out for your screen’s real size, so nothing is scaled or cropped. Choose a dotted outside margin on every page for handwritten notes, or even margins for reading edge to edge. Chapters are bookmarked and linked from the contents.
Getting it onto your device
E-readers: see the guides for Xteink, Kindle, Kobo and others. Writing tablets: copy the PDF across the same way as a template, as described in our install guides.
