So I’ve got a whole bunch of work on my plate this year where the income that’s generated is basically earmarked as “paying for Peter’s travel and con expenses.” It’s the stuff that allows me to go to the UK for World Fantasy at the end of the year, to Perth for the RWA conference in the middle of the year, and generally acquire a couple of shiny things (passports, luggage) that will make the increased amount of travel I’m doing a little easier.

I use OfficeSuite Pro because it can handle doc, docx and rtf (among other file types), and Dropbox.
This may be a winner. Does it have a maximum size to the files it can handle?
I don't know, but if it does I haven't hit it yet. The largest file I have in Dropbox is 201KB, and (from memory, since it's not the story du jour) the tablet was handling it fine.
