A new kindle curiosity today. I have some .txt files that an author put up on his website, of some of his classic short stories, for free. I’ve been slowly kindleizing them, and ran into one today that Amazon’s online converter choked on. Bringing the file up in UltraEdit showed nothing immediately obvious, so I try resaving as a UTF-8 only txt, still no joy. Bring it up in MS-Word and save as a doc, and now everything is happy. Someday when I have nothing better to do, I’ll start chopping up the original txt file, till I find the smallest subset that amazon will choke on, figure out what it doesn’t like.
