Interesting... I just noticed that FictionWise (http://www.fictionwise.com)
is now offering Hiebook format.
BTW, my new pastime... buy the book from Fictionwise, download as a PDB,
convert PDB to text and load into NewtonPress. (Actually, I do the
conversions with a set of Word macros and do some minimal reformatting,
using RTF as the intermediate format.) The trick is not reading the book
while I convert it. :-)
