1. paste text into OpenOffice.org Writer
2. Format Text - set page size, margins, font, ...
3. Print into pdf file
4. load pdf into GSview program, and export it onto series of bitmap files. I suggest that you use some greyscale loseless format (NOT jpeg)

Once you have all programs installed and you know what to do it takes less than 3 minutes of your work per book.

Hold your horses!
How long have you been here?
You have 17 posts under your belt.
I have been here for years and I am happy with the organization of the forum. The organization of the forum has been developed over many years.

I strongly suggest, take your time in learning how to use the forum. I also strongly suggest you learn basic netiquette. Like not posting exactly same question in two different places on the same forum ...


If you look for dirt-cheap solution, try to purchase cheapest second hand notebook. This is how I started with e-books. I salvaged an old notebook from trash. Later on I managed to buy very cheap and hopelessly obsolete Cassiopeia A-11, and later Cassiopeia A-20. They have transreflective grey LCD display and last up to 20 reading hours on a pair of AA batteries
