Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

What it does is set up a virtual PDF printer. That's a good idea about the page size. Off to experiment!

Nonian, I don't know if this will work for you, but I picked up a little gadget for $4.99 at CVS that plugs into the headphone jack and the phone then runs through the car radio.

Are you trying to turn text into PDF for reading on the Nook? If so you might try using Calibre. It can create EPubs which I think will probably work better.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Nonian, I love my Jawbone Icon. It's in my ear for at least an hour each way on my commute. It tells you exactly how much talk time is left and can connect to more than one device at a time. also does a fabulous job of screening out background noise, including wind. It The only drawback is the relatively short talk time (about 4 hours), but that's never been an issue for me yet. It uses a standard micro USB charger so I hook it up to my car phone charger and it's ready to go for the ride home.

That seems like a way better idea.

Calibre is perfect, thank you, Gud!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I use Calibre quite a bit. Happily.

And Maria had a better bluetooth rec than I... I like mine but I think I might like yours better....

The status is NOT quo.

Sorella! This is my earpiece of choice as well, and boy did it take a bunch of cheaper (but ultimatelty more expensive since they broke or functioned so poorly) ones before I found my OTE.

Can anyone think of a reason wordpress.com would refuse to post one of my blog posts? It just hangs and times out. It will post other blog posts from the same account. I've looked into the html and there's nothing odd; there is just text, blockquote, and about 4 links. No embedded images or videos or anything. I have one word in Unicode Greek, but tried taking that out and it didn't help. WTF?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Flea, I'd guess too many links. They probably think it's spam.
