I just got the epub version of the general's handbook. I am reading it on my android phone using moonreader. It's readable but looks like a bit of a mess. Does anyone know what is the ideal reader for the handbook?

I've spoken to GW cutomer services on this before actually, they recommended the kobo reader as that's what they use inhouse.

Google Play Books supports epub3 and has cloud storage tied to your google account so once it's uploaded you can access it from any device.

I would love any insights for reading this on PC as well. I bought this as its the only digital version, and every Windows 10 Epub reader i've tried looks horrific, or is so zoomed out (without an option to zoom in that doesn't break the format), that its literally unreadable.
I've got my physical book, so I am not too livid, but I do love reading digital stuff at my desktop on lunch, and such.

Unfortunately not in this case. I love Google Books but it won't handle the GHB because it's over 100mb, and the app won't just access native files without uploading first.
On the plus side, it means I can now have the GHB and a battle tome open in separate apps and just flick between...

Tried Kobo but it proceeds to crash after opening the Handbook, 100% of the time.

Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men. 
Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

Nope... Calibre won't let you zoom the entire document, only text, which get scrunched up and unreadable.

Not as Good as a Minion

I use UBReader, myself. It doesn't have a zoom feature, but then, it usually puts the images at screen width so zooming isn't as needed. I use it with a 7" tablet as well as my phone.
On PC, I usually use FBReader, to which I have a portable version for my flash drive to use, or I use Readium on Chrome.
