If your eReader (Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, Etc.) or smart phone supports viewing .pdf files than you should have the ability to view FlightPrep reports on your eReader device. Below is a step by step process using Windows that can assist you in moving FlightPrep reports to your eReader.

2- Once you build the report (you will know that its built because it will display in front of you on the reports tab) your FlightPrep software will store this report in your computers My Documents\ (for those using Vista or Windows 7 it’s called simply Documents), FlightPrep\Reports folder.
