Why don’t they just comply with the webstanards and keep presentation and content apart? That would make it even easier and not cost any software-licence at all.

I’ve never seen one mobile device that can substitute a good broad sheet. They’re too fiddly, screens are small requiring sharp site, bandwidth too slow etc… Papers only cost a few pence/cents.
