In-Browser Document Reader Record

PROBLEM: A public library that requires a download and a dedicated reader shuts out the reader with no software installed. The Vault opens everything in the browser with nothing to install, and says it should display and read faster than a dedicated PDF reader — but a reader with no access record cannot show who it serves, on what devices, or where it fails a reader who needs it most.

SOLUTION: An in-browser document reader record: every reading session logged by device class and format (PDF or EPUB) with load and readability outcomes — so a library can prove its zero-install reader reaches the civilian with only a phone, and can find the devices and formats where the reader still falls short.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — T.Rex Arms Field Manual Vault FAQ: "Everything opens right in your browser, with nothing to install, and it should display and read faster than a dedicated PDF reader."
