Yeah - first place I head for just about everything any more.

Hope that one'll do it for ya. Should be able to search the app store with just "chm" also.

well then. i should have tried the free version first. its an iphone version not made for ipad. so you can read it in a tiny window at 1x or choose 2x and get semi full screen blur blob of text.

wasted 6 bucks...almost unusable.

Try this free online converter- link.

Or try the OS X version of iChm to convert to pdf.
