Is there some way to read the book on an old iPad? I have an *iPad mini 4, iOS 12.5*, so Quine 2 is not an option. I tried the simplistic approach of downloading the book using Firefox, but for the life of me, could not figure out how to load it to read the book. I also tried Safari, Firefox Focus, Dolphin (in desperation!) and finally went to sleep. A tablet version sans Quine 2 would be attractive - I don't want to take my Chromebook or one of my MacBook Airs to bed.
