I have written a few utils to take files and remove the CRLFs so they
look nice on the textreader. I would like to get a text reader though
that can save its position so when it shuts down I don't have to go
through the whole book again. The best place I have found so far to
get e-texts has been the project gutenberg server. I can look up the
location if people are interested.

| I have bookreader now installed on my z. I have found a couple of books
| and texts for bookreader on AOL. What others (if any) are available?
| Seems like I saw the 'Mars' trilogy on AOL before, but can't find it now.
| If only a very few things are available it seems kinda silly to keep
| bookreader around...
|
| Question #2- I also have put the texteditor onto my z to read text files.
| There seem to be a good many around FREE. What is the maximum reasonable
| size to break these files down into? I'm obviously not going to load up
| and run Don Quixote all at once. What size files have most people had
| luck with? Thanks for any and all replies.
|
| I'm going on a trip at the end of next week and I'd like to put a bunch
| of stuff onto my z to take with me...
