Also, a video MP3 player can not only PLAY your newly created audiobooks, it can SHOW them as images!

I just bought the SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB Video MP3 player for $35. It plays video/audio, is smaller than a credit card and thin as a pencil, and can DISPLAY EBOOKS!

The program “eBook to Images” converts Text, HTML, PDF, and LIT ebooks to pictures that I may view on this video MP3 player. I can wear it on my arm and jog.

I just successfully used Calibre to convert a Mobipocket book and a PDF book to plain text and loaded both entire books into TextAloud. Calibre also did an error-free job of converting the PDF book. In contrast, loading a PDF book directly into TextAloud produced many mistakes.

Here are all the file formats between which Calibre converts:

Thus to convert ebooks to MP3 files:

1. Use Calibre to convert them to plain text first, or load them directly into TextAloud if you can.
2. Edit resulting files as you wish.
3. Use TextAloud’s File Splitter utility to break the big text file up into smaller chunks. Then turn those into MP3s sound files.

Using the TextAloud File Splitter:

You’re done!

If you want to load in a whole ebook, TextAloud only opens txt, pdf, rtf, doc, and HTML files.

So practically, if I want to convert a full Mobipocket/Kindle book to MP3, I can’t. I need to find its txt/pdf/HTML version.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

“If I upload my MP3 into the Audible folder I have the option to fast forward, pause, rewind, etc. just like on an MP3 player.”
