Microsoft Reader

from WinCustomize Forums
I recently downloaded Microsoft Reader, and converted my story from MS Word, to the format Microsoft Reader uses. I enjoy the program very much, but the feeling I get when reading my e-books aren't the same as reading actual books. I was wondering if there are any skins available, or any e-book readers that can convert MS Word documents to e-book that also have a feature where you can view the e-book reader as if it were an actual book,

And all you would need to do is click on the next page to flip it. (how cool would that be?!)

Free PDF writer at http://www.pdf995.com/

Slight caveat is that it opens a sponsor page on your web browser each time you print using it. If you can live with that it's free though.

One alternative I have used is a postscript printer driver and ghostscript/ghostview to convert the resulting PS to a PDF file. This is genuinely free but more of a hassle to set up.

free without ads: http://www.lexacorp.com.pg/makepdf.html
if you have a fast internet connection, you could just get OpenOffice, a free complete office suite. it allows you to export to PDF: http://www.openoffice.org/

for people interested in freeware, i recommend the PricelessWare list. i found that far more comfortable than those huge lists of 1000s of programs (where not even half of the links are working): http://www.pricelessware.org/2003/about2003PL.htm

Many thanks for all the links - I'll check them out when at work as it's for there I need it. If Office XP offers enough though, that will do as we're likely to be deploying that from the summer to all new machines, and probably as an upgrade the the current fleet.
