 In a similar case, where we load a lot of documents (mixed .pdf and .html) onto an android tablet for use in a vehicle, we ended up installing a local web server on the tablet (and even paying the developer for a few tweaks to it).
 

Thanks for that Andy. That sounds a great idea. Although I've installed a web server on my Window machine, doing a bit of googling suggests that doing something similar on an Android tablet is going to be slightly beyond my technical competence..
