Re: [lojban-beginners] iOS/Android app?

I'd like to see an enhanced version (see my message of a few minutes ago), but preferably not at the cost of other formats losing out, we'd want to retain maximum compatibility and accessibility across all formats.

You are correct the CLL can be exported to PDF which can be read by iPads etc.  The best case I can see for using the iBooks format is not so much the special features but being able to publish it to and therefore the visibility and searchability of the CLL within the iTunes and iBooks stores.  This allows for the less technically adept to find and download the content as well as share bookmarks across devices and whatever else that a PDF alone doesn't.

The same should be done for other open and closed book stores in my opinion :-)
