Like others said, I really use my iPod for PD. Audiobooks, right now. I remember searching for some ways to convert text into audio, either by installing a text-to-speech thingy on ze iPod, or finding a program that outputted mp3s of text. I have a lot of articles I want to read online, but I odn't wnat to spend that much time on hte computer, and printing htem all seem like a waste, especailly when most of them will be thrown away after being read.

Edit: One such program (appears to be the best) is Top Drawer Downloads - TextAloud Text-to-Speech Conversion Anyone have any experience with it?

Edit again: Apparently this'll work if you're on mac: Tucows Downloads - Text Reader 1.2.1 Freeware Software. I'll keep looking for windows.
