If you care, Google's announcement is here.
Thanks much for the info. I was going to get the galaxy tab s4 when it is released but now am thinking about either the s3 or s2. Wonder if CC will be charged for overusing resources (generating extra copies of books) or will the reader be charged for overusing resources.

The extra "securities" will degrade performance rather than an improvement. I have a copy of the ios 11 epub manual & ireader sees it as readable IF it is located on a hi level directory; if moved to a folder, ios says it does not understand the format & one has to send a copy to an app (reader) for load/read.

Wonder if windows tablets will go the ios way also. or perhaps CC can hopefully be ported over to a "linux tablet" if necessary .....
