More and more affordable tablets have hit the markets, and we would like to make The Flora easier to use on these devices.
To do so, we are seeking feedback as to how well various page sizes and font sizes fit on your device.
Please open up this feedback page - perhaps on your computer, then
open each of the following PDFs on your tablet and let us know how they work. There are versions targeted for different types of tablets, but another might work better for yours.
We are primarily interested in whether the page size works and if the font is legible. The formatting is not perfect, particularly where tabs are used, for example in the keys.
But our hope is that it one of these formats will be more usable than the full flora pdf.
If you have more than one tablet, please do this once for each tablet.
Many thanks!

An alternate approach: dividing the flora into several parts. Some have reported that the full flora version works fine on a tablet. The problem is that it's slow. An attempt to circumvent that is breaking the flora into 4 parts:
Unforunately, the phyogenetic sorting order of the dicots means the families are not alphabetical.
