You can convert anything to .stk as long as it's only text content. What you do is simply pull out the plain text (easy in HTML, in PDf you would have to use an app like PDFtoTXT) and past it in the .stk maker. At the moment the results aren#t too pretty, but I just got a reply from Staretek telling me that they are working on improving these issues.

I'll try the Linux boot-CD stunt as soon as I have time, same goes for the gutenberg text. I hope I'll manage that this afternoon.
The details of the STAReBOOK hard and software are actually available on the website...they use Linux as OS and have a 200Mhz Processor...
Check out the details on
http://ebook.stareread.com/en/
most of the info you want is in the FAQ section.
UPDATE:
I did a little trial with the program you suggested and the results look slightly better.
Here are the files:
alice30.txt is the original from gutenberg
alice.txt is the one modified with par
alice30.stk is the eRead transformation of the original
alice.stk is the eRead transformation of the modified file.
All other parameters are unchanged.
I probably won't have much time today, but I'll see whether I can try the same trick with the book I am reading at the moment and scan the results.
