For the 3 or 4 of you who didn't stop reading at the subject line, I've created a mobile-friendly mini web app for playing with our old analogue E6-Bs (or the CR-3/5 style circular sliderules without the sliding card).
https://e6b.org/ (yep, I bought the domain)
You can practice on either the calculator or the wind side, and choose just basic (PPL-exam-level) problems, or advanced ones.
Operation is very simple: tap/click/hit a key once to see the answer (and step-by-step solution), and again to get a new question, until you decide to stop.
Slide rules (including circular ones) are all about approximation, so you decide if your answer is close enough to the one displayed. The app doesn't ask for your answer or keep score.
There are no ads or other gimmicks to try to "monetize" this—it's just for fun. Enjoy!
