Not as good as other one This is the exact same book as the "U.S Army Survival Guide" App, but the other one has black backgound with white text. Don't you think saving battery life is pretty important in survival? lol the other one is better if you plan on using it while you're out.

Give it some landscape mode pls! Works OK except on my tablet starts in portrait mode and forces my to switch around till I select an article which it then lets me read in landscape mode... Small but annoying problem.
