jpegbook: Read your books on Zune! Print E-mail
Written by Kostas Tzounopoulos   
Tuesday, 27 March 2007
No this is not a new feature of the awaited v1.3 firmware. jpegbook, a 3rd party program, transforms text to jpg images in the Zune compatible size, 320x240. The user can then read the book as images loaded on Zune...

It shouldn't be that difficult for Microsoft to implement this feature natively on Zune with scrolling features and other goodies, but until then jpegbook is your only friend:

jpegbook Zune text reader

 You can download jpegbook from here and read more instructions here

EDIT: Sorry EsotericGuy for not mentioning your site. I didn't do that on purpose :) I thought the "instructions here" link above was enough. Visit the creator's website: http://www.instructables.com/member/esotericguy/

some problems..
written by Tony, March 28, 2007
Well, this is a great notice to whom have the zune! i liked!!!
i downloaded the software, and try to use, but i can´t, because stay just symbols in the conversion.. so, anyone can help?

I think that maybe the problem is the encode of the text….

i tried to convert some pdf’s and .doc, but unsuccessfully..

If anyone could help, could be great for me and others one!

thanks, and great site!!!

Your Welcome, but still.

I'm happy to share stuff like this with all the others in the "social".
But still, at least give a shout out to me or something.
or
Change the link to the actual instructable I created, not someone else linking to that same instructable. I know that, as LifeHacker points out, the details are sparse, but I'll fix them up soon enough.
