> On windows, WordPad is THE software to create rtf files perfectly formated for Sony Reader. If you inspect the rtf file using plain text editor it is much, *much* cleaner than rtf files produced by OpenOffice.org or MSWord or other tools.
Yup. My scribbling box runs Win98 and the earliest edition of WordPad. Plain and simple RTFs, without the added header, footer, and per-line garbage of later editions.

Good to know. I run a dual-boot with Xandros 4, which I believe is Debian-based. Is there a version of Ted available that will unzip/tar/whatever and install itself without having to fuss with the command line stuff?

Metadata? Whuzzat? Explain?
Thanks,
