Off-topic: Mobile version only loads the title page of the book and leaves all remaining pages blank. I thought that was the joke.

1. Not off topic. 2. Mobile version of what, it’s a pdf. 3. I can see the full text on my iPhone.

You can read the PDF directly in browser: https://docmadeeasy.com/v/484772290

Yea on my Android app, pages such as Twitter and pdf cannot be loaded and displayed properly, and I have to open browser to see the actual content.

There's a way to work around this using Android firefox (or a fork) with Android pdf.js extension. Mozilla is making this hard by not blessing this extension even though it uses one of their own developed pieces of software.

For some reason Android app devs think it's perfectly normal to not be able to open pdf's in a browser tab.

The Material app on Android. Loading pdf in app and it turns out that I can only see the first page followed by endless blank pages

Sounds like a bug with Material..

It's 900pages (but under 10MB on disk) so your app might have trouble getting it into memory.
