Anyway ... whilei dont need a new cell, I =have= been eyeing something that I can buy ebooks and have the player/reader/ have the text {ASCII =only=} read to me. I would google up something, but I dont even know what to search for. can I put freebsd on these tablet devices? if I bought, say, WAR AND PIECE or something out of copyright { schopenhauer or marcus aurelius } that is in text, how do I get it to whatever tablet I have? right now we've got cable and I use the telco for my server. I know that works, but it is only good for my computer network. but say I wanted to keep things simple and buy some kind of kindle or nook. how does amazon.com or bn.com get their new ebooks onto my reader? thanks in advance, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Twenty-six years of service to the Unix community.
