eBooks on Your Wireless Digital Picture Frame: RoverSoft's Zune eBook Creator

Okay. Just because you CAN put two things together doesn't mean you should. Say you're sitting on the couch, hanging out with your new wireless digital picture frame, thinking about reading a book, trying to choose between the two. Well! You can put an end to this bitter love triangle by using your wireless picture frame to download the new RoverSoft Zune eBook Creator ($19.50). Simply put, the Zune software converts the text of your average eBook-formatted file into a JPG and displays it on your frame. It also allows you to modify the JPGs, although we're not sure why you'd want to do that. So the bottom line is, you can cuddle up with your digital picture frame and read. Thank goodness. Why one would go to all this trouble rather than fork over for the portable, outdoor-light-friendly Kindle, remains a mystery to us. We also like the smell of books. You decide.
