BUT you've got to love the Kindle for a pretty decent text to speech programme that doesn't sound like Stephen Hawking

and

No conversion of PDFs necessary. It doesn't read PDFs very well and nearly all of the books I have for review are in PDF format. So I'd been grubbing around the net finding conversion programmes but they were either not free, or were only free for a certain time or DIDN'T DO WHAT THEY SAID ON THE TIN or were written by Sheldon Cooper with no thought for Cheesecake Waitresses.

Then I found if you email a pdf to your Kindle it converts it!  wah hey! Did a woman design this? *runs*
