I do the same thing regarding checking my collection from stores.  I 
find a limited CSV export (visible fields only) w/ an app capable of 
rendering CSV as a spreadsheet provides a better experience on my 
phone.  I periodically export my collections and have a sync client on 
my phone that copies them to the phone for local viewing.

It's not ideal, but best I could come up with.  The (large) html exports 
were slow to load, and searching more clunky than just searching the CSV 
for whatever reason.

Fingers crossed for a Tellico for Android at some point in the future.  :-)
