Portability options for Android

[Bill Gee]

In Tellico I generate a Group View report, then save it as an HTML file.

On my Android tablet I use X-plore (available in the Google Play Store) 
to copy the file from a shared network drive.  X-plore can also open the 
file in an HTML viewer, or you can use a web browser to open it.

And yes, it has saved me from buying countless duplicates!
