Another great use of the eReader!

Keep you favorite recipes in an RTF file and transfer to reader each time you add to it. It is great for keeping your recipes portable and accessible in the kitchen.

Heh, sounds like yet another job for the old ziplok bag Reader protection plan too.

But as absent-minded as I am, I might put the ingredients in the ziplok bag and the Reader in the oven. Use caution.

Okay, you're officially not allowed in my kitchen. Okay, my wife's kitchen.

Edbro -

Great idea! But how are you loading them - as a Collection? I don't want to see them every time I am selecting a book.

You could put 'em on an SD card, and then they're only there when you want to use them (just pull the card the rest of the time).

Good idea! So it would be like some of those cards that only hold one book. I could dedicate the card to recipes. It makes sense.

I could really see PDFs being used here - print to PDF and also scan to PDF, if only the Reader really supported PDFs.....

Actually, you may very well have just hit upon an application for which the Reader's PDF support would work very well indeed. Format "Recipe" PDFs for the Reader's screen size, and then print them on the 6x4" cards that are sold for printing photographs. That might work very well indeed

... or you could print the recipes into PDF files formatted for the Reader's screen and put them on your 'recipes' SD card, and use them on the Reader ....

Recipes tend to be short enough that one ought to fit on a single Reader "page" just fine.
