I was stuck today with a .rtf file, no way to get it onto my jetBook for reading, and I wanted to read it away from the PC. All I had was the damned K3. No e-mail access either.

So... As it happens, I had MS Word and a PDF printer widget (PDF Creator) on my PC. I saved the file as .htm (HTML 3) and renamed it as a .txt. Then I printed it in A7 size as a PDF. When I transferred them both to the K3 via cable, to my surprise, they both worked.

One learns new things every day. I still prefer the jetBook for .rtfs, but in a pinch...

Regards,
