  4. Re:well, obvious question then... on Best PDA To Read e-Texts On? · · Score: 1

    Really depends on the software. MobiPocket's reader (MobiReader?) uses the up/down buttons on my Palm V. It's very nice.

    Come on. I _know_ /.ers don't normally read the articles (which doesn't apply here, I know) but don't we at _least_ read the posts all the way to the end? He specifically says that Bookcrossing is _not_ what he's looking for.

    Except that because both vorbis and mp3 are lossy compressions, you'd end up with vorbis files that sound *worse* than your mp3s. What I'm going to do is to encode _new_ files as .ogg, and keep a copy of an older, free, mp3 player. Yeah, that's it.
