This article will interest those of you who enjoy reading eBooks - it amazes me what can be done with XML and automation!
"End up converting a majority of the ~5000 Project Gutenberg etexts to proper ebook format for MS Reader and Pocket PCs. I am critical about Project Gutenberg at certain times throughout this article. Please don't take offence, I think PG kicks a55. If it continues as is, I will still love it; but I hope they might take what I have put together, or build their own automated tools and make it even more powerful and successful."

Hmmmm rather have them in Palm reader format (A format not limited to only MS OS's) but still. Pretty cool method of automated conversion

I'd rather have them in .Txt or .RTF (size 12 font).
Tried MS reader and other than the Text to Voice feature, I feel I can leave it(to use the Txt2Voice feature, you have to use a desktop or notebook computer, the technology isn't impressive yet(still sounds like a drunk reading the phone book), but it could be).
It seems to be just me, but sometimes I like books on tape or cd.
I like my text simple and readable, my z50(Mips) with it's 640by480 screen is my preferred reading device.
