WP MVP! You are a caution Jeffrey. I’m so glad that you haven’t lost your sense of humour during the transition over here! You know I would be upset Jeff if you ever went off me. Shall we form a Group over here?
What do you think? 😉

I am not their Gravatars keeper. Anyway I edited the title. That post is from 2009, I think. I edited it because the table didn’t fit similar to the way the clubhouse mangles a lot of posts. So, thanks for noticing. You’re a little late, but better late than never.

Do keep up the how-to’s. Who knows, maybe you’ll become a WP mvp.

I dunno, suppose I’ll have to do some how-to’s for you lot! Never a moments rest or respite have I? And Jeffrey dear, shouldn’t your title read ‘The Three Stages of a Man’s Life?’

(runs out the door to avoid hastily thrown object.)

The whole thing took like 15 or 20 minutes. That\’s like making £123 per hour. It was worth it to me! LOL!

Gulp! Well, I suppose I could get one for fiiifteeeee quiiiid! But if I had to sit there and do all you\’ve described here, think I might stick wiv library books. Lovely teachy read, though:-)

LOL! Nah, it really isn\’t that bad anyway. And it\’s very easy. I am just verbose in describing it. And I saved $65 taboot! Maybe your lovely wife will buy you a Kindle for your birthday! Oh I have made some ebooks for the MS Reader before I had a Sony reader. That was long ago…

You get my vote for "roll your own" user of the year! Only 1,467 simple steps later, and you\’ve saved 60 bucks! That\’s some heavy lifting between IE, Word, and PDF, but I like the way you think, pal. I haven\’t experimented with e-readers beyond Microsoft\’s nostalgic Reader for Pocket PC, mainly because you have to shell out $ for the reader hardware in the first place (yes, I\’m that cheap). I find a lot of good, techy PDF content on the Torrent sites, and my laptop makes a perfectly suitable reader for my needs. Great post, BTW.

The original draft had a lot more information about different readers. I stripped out a whole section of the "pros and cons" of using a reader and specific models and just left a little bit about why I chose the Sony model. I agree about reading on a CRT (are these used anymore anyway?) or LCD screen. The flicker kills my eyes. But the eInk that the new models use is nice, and the batteries last two weeks (if you turn any radios off) since the page only uses power to render. Once the page is displayed it no longer requires power. So, in essence, you use the battery to turn the page. I like the note taking ability you mentioned, but those models able to do that or touch screen, etc., are more costly, and I wasn\’t sure I would even use this thing. But I am happy to report that I do, and I like it! So, thanks for you excellent comment!

I hope you get your Kindle. And thanks for reading the post. Let me know if you do get a reader and I\’ll show you a lot of places to get free reading material for it. But the library will be off limits! LOL!

I think some people are pioneering this new avenue and the more that "play around" in it will help to get it from fringe to main stream. In college I came up with a good idea for ebooks due to the constant problem of college text book availability from the used book store and the cost, esentually it was an ebook and CF card that the book store would upload a book to making its inventory and sold out status things of the past, this was 2002 and I missed the boat, again…The problem is standardization. Too many different formats and platforms, each with its own unique advantages. Epaper will be the biggest issues. I hate reading things off a PC screen, even LCD, high contrast, light levels, etc. leave me fuzzy feeling and seeing lines and such after reading for only 20 min. Once they can mimic print on paper contrast and \’look\’ and keep the devices to a 8×10 or less size and battery life of a week of so it will be better. I have a few friends who have self published books and they complaign on the cost, hassle, and complexity of getting it reviewed, edited, to the printer, and then distributing it. Epublishing would help, but the hardest part would be a vitrual book store, like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. Amature self publishing authors would need to convince the \’big boys\’ of the retail world to sell their books and assist in promoting them. I think another hurtle is deciding on a price, if you can get a retailer to seel them what commission is fair, how to get copyright and enforce it, check on royalties if they exist, etc. I would live to publish some of my own works, even photo books (think coffee table books) and do not know if current ebooks could do that, they are new of course. I degress, great article on introduction to this emerging field. I think we could save a lot of trees and carbon from printing, shipping, storing, etc. if all public schools, colleges, and tech schools went to ebooks. Think about it, new editions pushed out over servers so virually no lag in new advances getting to the class room, less bulk and weight for students, campus book stores could move out of basements and into the commons and be about the size of a Starbucks. (BTW my college ebook had 2 screens, 1 for ebook and 1 for stylus type note taking so you could eliminate notebooks, put all notes on CF card in PDF like format hand written of from Palm style text imput, including pictures and such!)
