  I use an app called "Graphic." It's an app that is both for IOS and OS. When I got it, it was cheap. I'm not sure if it is anymore.

  However, if that doesn't work, I don't see any reason we couldn't set up a Pages sheet.

  I just downloaded the character sheets for this. I'll be converting it soon so I can use them.

  When using the Graphics app, I put a screen shot of the stats sheet (half of this one at a time) on one level, and I put the text boxes on a top level. I create a workspace that is long rather than wide so that I don't have to zoom as much - scrolling is easier.

  Thanks for the info, RiwWrath. Do you use the Kindle app or Books or something else?

  I read it using the Kindle app. The links work really well.

  Heads up, though. Sometimes the app gets fussy with the repeated use of links. I find that it may become unresponsive. When that happens, I just open another book when I restart it. Then, I go back to the gamebook and then all is well again. I've discovered that problem while I was playing through Fabled Lands.

  Kindle makes gamebooks a better experience. I sometimes get lost and forget what number I'm supposed to be turning to, so the links are awesome.

  Thanks again. I started using OneNote to hold the character sheet and then have Kindle open to the side like this:

  (hopefully this link works)
  This way I can resize things (the Hero Sheet is smaller than 100% right now) and I can write on the Hero Sheet as needed using the Apple Pencil. Below it I have the combat tracker that I downloaded from the official site. And, I have a separate page with Glossary that I also downloaded from the official site.
