New eBookwise - Need to Convert .pdf

Hi Gang,

Got the shiny new eBookwise today and it is pretty much OK, I guess, for the price. I was a little disappointed that the page doesn't look as much like a paper page as I had hoped but I can read it OK with the thing darkened some and the backlight up fairly high and with the larger font. So that part's OK.

My local library has a selection of ebooks but they are all in .pdf. I've tried to download one, then find it again and run it through a converter to turn it into .doc.

So far no luck. I guess I am not computer-savvy enough to know how to do it. I hope that somebody has written a step-by-step cookbook procedure for dummies like me.

What I've found is that the software is out there but there doesn't seem to be much information about how to use it. Those who are computer-literate would probably have no trouble at all.

I'm trying to use "Some PDF to Word v1.5" and it looks like it ought to do the job. I can't seem to find the book after I have downloaded it, even though I try to put it in My Documents. Even typing *.* doesn't bring it up so I don't know where the heck it is going.

I guess this stuff is like brain surgery, simple when you know how.

Happy New Year to All!
