Thanks for the warm welcome!

Yes, Texas is a BIG state. Our youngest son left this morning for Dallas to go back to school. Made it in just under 11 hours - and that is with 80mph speed limits most of the way. We make the trek to Houston every couple of months to go to MDA and we break it up into a 1 day and 3 hour trip each way by staying with family in San Antonio. Not up to 11 hour days on the road any more, the 8 hours to S.A. is our max.

Calibre will convert most HTML to a format you can use in the Sony (I prefer LRF for now). There are also some other stand alone tools to do that but Calibre is the easiest and does a great job, expecially if you set the default formating to fonts and margins for easy reading on the Sony.

The DFW outing sounds like it would be lots of fun. We'll just wait and see how the schedule looks as we get closer to the date.

Thanks again,

Don S.
