Re: which reader/tablet/
Hi,
Have you seen Project Gutenberg. There are alot of books there that are
out of print and published in a variety of formats. I have gotten stuff
onto a older kindle (black and white) with the cable that it comes with
(usb) plugged into the computer, in windows to kindle, dragging and
dropping to the drive.
Other than that I think its much easier (and transparent) in common
usage with wifi or cellular plan. Just navigate and select I would
guess.
I looked around on the web and found some stuff that might be of
interest to you,
there was a thread ( it appears ) on this list last year about the
potential of using FreeBSD on tablets:
http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Vivaldi-Tablet-td5593818.html
Also there is a text to speech add-on for firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/text-to-voice/
Anyway,
checked a bit thought it might help.

I also made many sets of floppy disks and got the same result. I thought there must be some problem in 5.4-RELEASE, but Google search for "zf_read fill error" made me convinced that the problem existed in my floppy disks, and not in 5.4-RELEASE. So I made boot.flp and kern*.flp on another machine. Then the installation went without problem! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
problem with login.access
my login.access was working perfectly with 4.6-stable (not allowing users to login via telnet/ssh but allowing them only on ftp) but after upgrading to 4.7-stable -- somehow, users can now login thru telnet/ssh with the same login.access settings that i have before . did i miss something on the upgrade that i should edit in /etc files ? == sample setting on my login.access tab == -:1stUser:ALL -:2ndUser:ALL == end sample == the above setting blocks all login attempts on my box using telnet/ssh but allows ftp access. but after the upgrade i noticed users could login thru telnet/ssh. any help will be greatly apprciated. __ Do you Yahoo!?
