Eric,
Downloaded, but the default pdf viewer (QuickOffice on my android phone) just
shows me pages with a big red X.
I downloaded the Adobe Reader app and now i can see the content, but it does

Eric,
I have to answer mostly no to your question.
I can open it with the Adobe reader on my Android tablet, but the pages are too

Most people seem to have mixed results when trying to open the PDF files on
their tablet-based (Android and iOS) devices. Bummer! These PDF files were
harvested from the Internet Archive. They seem to be viewable just fine for
desktop machines, but not tablets.

Archive scans; even on my PC, the PDF doesn't render well until it is fully
downloaded -- while it is in the process of loading, I see a blurry mess.
Perhaps the tablet devices are doing the same thing --

Does one version work better on tablets than the other?
