Hello,

Have ordered the Sony reader.
Trying to get a bit of a head start.
Sure does seem like a nifty gadget.

Great forum, and really appreciate all the help to my dumb questions.

I'm the chap that asked previously about formatting what appears on the display into narrow columns (increased left & right margins) for a disabled friend with an eye problem.

One of the replies said: "Using RTF and simply setting suitable left/right margins is probably the easiest way to do it."

So, O.K., let me ask:

- what is RTF ?
- how and where do I get it ?
-how do I use it, etc. ?

Any other "formaters" I should, perhaps, know about ?

And I guess I'm still very curious about news feeds: Besides just downloading a news feed line-by-line which I guess you can do (somehow) from the web, any way of downloading whole pages from, e.g., Yahoo News or similar ?

Much thanks again,
Bob
