Deb, I did an overview of ZR on my DW/LJ here: [link]
I kind of doubt it would work with an iPad, even a mini, because it needs the accelerometer to work. OTOH, if it works on the iPad, you could just listen to the story while exercising. Up to you. But check the website, or email them: they're pretty responsive.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's one of their FAQs, and they say that it's not tested for tablets, but that people have successfully used it.

I can't imagine it would hurt the iPad unless you fell on it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, I determined that it does not have a spinny hard drive, and the presence of the accelerometer would seem to indicate that it's okay.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In the early '90s, Quark boasted 95% market share. But its hurried and steady decline is one of the greatest business failures in modern tech.

Long shot question, cross posted with Natter:
Does anyone know of a source for buying out of date prepackaged software? We are looking for a version of particular biotech software from 2000, and it's not on ebay or Amazon, so I thought I would turn to the hivemind.

Awhile back, someone was debating laptop vs tablet, but needed to scan documents (I think).
Anyhow, saw this, and thought I would share with the group. Never used it. Dunno how good/bad it is. It only has 2 reviews. But, it's a iPad dock scanner. Only scans at 300dpi. [link]

When my old computer died by DTP software did not make th e transition. Does anyone have DTP software who is willing to help me out by taking a word file and creating a pdf from it with even justification. Yes, I know that is a native Word capability. But I want real even justification with automatic kerning or whatever the tech is that allows even justification without the funky look even justification in word gives.
Don't need fancy formating, though if you can't stand the MS format you are welcome to play with it. All I really need is true even justification, not word's poor person's version.
Anyway if you are willing to help you have my thanks. My profile addy is good.
