- Don't read it like a novel. It is dry. It is encyclopedic. Read it in chunks of 20-30 pages, treating each reign like a separate short story.
- Keep the Targaryen family tree open. The PDF is useless without the genealogical chart. There are too many Aegons, Aemons, and Rhaenyses. Bookmark the family tree page.
- Embrace the footnotes. The maester (Archmaester Gyldayn) constantly interrupts himself. The footnotes in the Spanish edition are excellently translated and often contain the best jokes.
- Searchability: One advantage of the PDF format (if you have a legitimate, text-searchable version) is the ability to search for specific dragon names (Vhagar, Meraxes) or castles. You cannot do that easily with a physical book.
