Not all of you may actually read books with your mp3 player but for those that can't exactly find that book it's a great thing to take advantage of if you've got an ipod. Seeing how I have a Zune I kinda missed out on this feature until I got frustrated and found a program that takes text files and turns them into pictures. The program is originally meant for the PSP but changing an option or two it'll be perfect for the Zune. 320 x 240

Just download it, open up the text file and select the background you want. Most likely a nice soft one to put less strain on your eyes and let it save all the images. Once you're done make sure they're all in the same folder before adding it to Zune and you're done!

At first it didn't work for me so I copied all the text into notepad and saved it and then tried it. :cal_dance:

Hehe...if your teacher lets you listen to music in school this is an easy way to make helpful "reminders" on tests. :badger:

This one's called jpegbook. I'm pretty sure this is old but the thought kept on nagging me until I bothered to google it.

Ive tried it but the file sizes are huge compared to just putting an EBook on an Ipod.

Meh...hopefully they'll add a text file reader eventually.

Just converted one book and it was 34 MB so it's not that bad.
