Mur Lafferty’s new superhero novel<\/a> is making the rounds. She’s encouraging everyone to buy a printed copy on August 25 (buy it here<\/a>) to make a nice impression in the bestseller lists. I’m a sucker for these kinds of promotions. The full text also recently appeared on the Escape Pod<\/a> feed, under a Creative Commons license. It’s a whopping 35 megabytes, including illustrated comic book covers…a nice touch.<\/p>\n

It would be really nice to have this with me to read during spare moments without the bulk of the printed book. Hmm.<\/p>\n

My question is: how I can read it on an iPhone? Ebook support isn’t that great so far, especially for the PDF format. I know about the data:url trick<\/a>, but it doesn’t work with 35 megs. Has anyone successfully set up an iPhone to read this book? What software and\/or conversions did you use? Comment below. -m<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
