Let's Buy Kovid Goyal an Amazon Kindle
Let's raise the funds to buy Kovid a Kindle.

For those of you who are new, or don't have a Sony Reader, earlier this year Kovid wrote a set of converters that outputted LRF for the Sony Reader. The converters are very good, and they gave Reader owners a vastly improved reading experience. The converter accept the following input:

LIT (MSReader)
RTF
HTML
TXT
PDF
web (This will download a given webpage and convert it.)

If we buy him a Kindle, he will add Mobipocket PRC as an output. This will benefit both Kindle and Cybook owners. Admittedly, the Cybook can already see most of those formats, but I still think you will benefit from these conversion tools.

I will be using ChipIn.com to gather the funds. Click on the link.
