Hmm. But the Kindle page SAYS it can handle personal PDF docs. Wouldn't those be easier to read along to, being totally formatted like the Word doc? What's the advantage of converting Word docs to Text docs? Those are downloadable into Kindle, too? it can but the font on the single documeant i trie...

By "txt documents" do you mean PDF? I see on Amazon's Kindle page that it has a PDF reader so you can "carry and read all your personal and professional documents on the go." So one would need to convert Word docs to PDF, transfer to Kindle, and then switch to audio and presto, ...

it can read txt documents so i would need to convert it first, than connect it to the computer and just transfer the file like normal. i haven't had it read txt documents outloud, but i've had it read its own stories outloud. its a lot better than the microsoft's voice, i can tell you that. but the ...

yeah the narrator software is a big buggy. a workaround i found is to put the text in notepad. the 03 read aloud thing was so easy to use and worked too . . . my brother used it all the time to proof read his work for school. i would use the roll eye smilie here . . . anyway, for myself, i have been...

depends on which version you have. word 03 has it under tools and speech, as far as i remember. word 07 doesn't, but if you have vista and up, you will need to use narrator (its in the control panel. a search will turn it up easier) to read aloud. or you can use a vb macro. if you have xp and word 0...

not sure about special programs, but word can read my papers to me. its voice is terrible but it's good for helping me to check over papers before i submit to the teacher. haven't actually used it to proofread stories.

I've used Stanza to read on my iTouch (it is almost the same as the iphone. just w/o the phone and gps and camera). The smaller number of visible paragraphs take a little getting used to, yeah, but not too long. a couple days, in my case, i think. and the kindle has this odd system of assisnging num...

Just which rights they own is the question, isn't it?

the iphone screen is about 2 post it notes. lol and yeah, it is not bad at all. 4.5 inches by 2.31 inches. 3.5 inches diagonally.

If they encounter magical things and fall in love, I guess I would call it paranormal romance. Especially if the romance is the main story, you know?

i've read some of the house of night series. it starts out okay, but later on, the mc turns into bit of a mary sue.

i never read the acknowledgment page. and don't all books have them?

love the drizzt books and the dresden files! but i couldn't get into The Sword of Truth series!

One of my favorite series all time the black jewels trilogy by anne bishop

It has just occurred to me that amazon's press release probably does not include number of hardcovers sold through third party bestsellers, whose books are usually cheaper (and new sometimes too!), so if you wanted a hardcover you would probably buy through the third part seller, not through amazon.

So I just read this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/20/techn ... .html?_r=1

It says that amazon says they sold more ebooks than hardcovers. I am amazed.
