I Know The Guy Who Owns This Place

Amazon’s Kindle forums recently had good instructions on how to convert Microsoft Reader (.lit) files to Kindle’s .prc format.

You can also simply email your Kindle a Microsoft Word doc and it’ll convert it for you for $0.10 (pays for the Sprint wireless airtime I suspect.) I use this feature whenever I have a long technical document or user manual to read. It’s much easier to get through a full document like that when you can do it a little at a time as you have time (and not always have to carry the specific book around with you.)

The one piece of utility software I need to find is a good .PDF to .PRC converter. There’s a couple I’ve seen like PDFRead (Windows) that would probably work, but I’d love something simpler.
