Okay. So I still need to fuss with some tools to play Android apps on Linux.

There was some mention of feeding it a pdf, and I can scan to a pdf, so 
I'll give that a try, if I get it to run.

Another tool I found is written in Java and is available for Linux and 
the other two popular OSs. I may try that first. I have to install the 
Java development tool since it has to be complied (or whatever it's 
called in Java).

Thanks for the reply.
