Hopefully we will be finished with the DVD soon.

I will be handing out some papers to a meeting today, that I am 
attending.  It will be just a printout of the index page of the web 
site.  I also include my business card.  That way by the next meeting, I 
hopefully will have a list of people who want a copy of the DVD.  This 
meeting is actually a Historical Society meeting, but there is a large 
cross section of people there who are working in various businesses, 
local government, or retired.  I hope to be able soon to drop off a copy 
or two to IT people at the local library system, governments [city and 
county seat less than 2 miles away], and a few businesses that I have 
dealt with before.

I never needed to use any e-reader formats until I started to look into 
reader software for my old tablet PC.  So when I installed it, there was 
a freezing issue.  The Writer2ePub extension seems to work though.  That 
may be the more used e-reader extension.  There are others that are 
"only" for mobile devices, like iPad and phone types, but you need an 
external software like Calibre to convert to them.  I still prefer TXT, 
HTML, or PDF formats for my book files, or maybe I am just use to them.

No, the freeze was on Linux, so I did not want to try it on Windows.  An 
eariler version [I think I remember] did work on Windows, but that was 
several years ago when it went in my list of extension in my OOo folder.

I did not check the tracking, since it was one of those Sun vs. Oracle 
deals where Oracle just took over the file and is not supporting it, 
yet.  It is still under Sun's ownership, according to OOo's web site.
