Btw, what sort of math interest do you have? Education, work, hobby, ...?

Well, life is even sweeter now! Pdflrf.exe has turned my Sony reader from pretty nice to almost terrific. I converted a 2000 page math pdf yesterday in about an hour on my slow PC. It didn't do a perfect job and it's far from seemless, but it is more than adequate for me. Some math pdfs I read are work related but most are personal curiosities and http:\\arxiv.org is a place I visit regularly. I've spent much of this weekend filling and organizing (well, that means the names and authors are correct; that's hardly organizing) my 2 Gb SD card with 200 books, articles, etc. I'm in heaven!
I copy and paste articles from NYTimes and other sites to rtf files and save them to a folder which I input and copy to my reader. There are more steps in that process than I would like, but I'm pretty comfortable with it now. Compared to carrying around printed newspapers, magazines, printed reports, and books, this is all just marvelous. I should check out more seemless ways of doing this step though.
Thanks to all of you have provided me with so much useful info, content, and utilities. You are terrific!
I have two other wants I'll be looking into soon: a rather small, affordable "map case" to carry my reader and some paper and pencils in; and a good way to scan old public domain books in a reasonably timely manner (i.e., less than the time to read them!).
