If you like books, this is a must have application for your device. Voice Dream Reader turns every book you own into an audiobook. You can listen to whatever you want, wherever you want. You don’t have to wait nor do you have to pay the massive expensive of audiobooks. Simply load your book into Voice Dream and listen to it any time.

Voice Dream is a great app to have while working around the house, mowing the lawn or driving in the car. I’ve […]

Voice Dream–My Impressions After Listening for a few Hours

Now that I’ve spent some time with Voice Dream the Text to Speech Reader I wanted to share a few thoughts. First of all, for those that don’t know, Voice Dream is a text to speech reader that takes whatever text you feed it and reads it back to you while a highlighter moves across the text so you can follow along. It’s a very good idea that lets you listen to text on the go so you can keep reading your books, Word documents or web pages while you do other tasks. Voice Dream supports opening files from Dropbox, Bookshare, Pocket, Instapaper, and Gutenberg as well as the clipboard or entering text into an editor. Voice Dream can read PDF, Plain text, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, Apple Pages, RTF and HTML files, so right off the bat you have a pretty big pool of resources to pull from. Really the only omission is the Kindle Mobi format, but those […]

How to Remove DRM From Your Kindle Books using Calibre

Last night I wanted to convert one of my Kindle eBooks into a text file, but needed to remove the DRM protection so I could work with it. I was a little shocked at how easy it was. It’s a completely automated process and it’s free. You’ll need to download Calibre, which is a fantastic tool in it’s own right. I use it all the time to convert PDF files into .Mobi and .ePub files for my iPad. Once Calibre is downloaded, head over to Apprentice Alf and download the Calibre plugin. It’s the second link under The Tools heading. The other zip file is for removing DRM from other eBooks like Barnes and Noble. I used that not too long ago as well and it worked perfectly. There are articles on the page for process as well. (That download page is just too damn hard to understand so here are the plugins) DeDRM_plugin_6.0.6.zip – Download this if you’re just […]
