 Free Books That Your Computer Will Read to You!

Holy Cow!  I just discovered something!!  I had to run out to the garage – where I can almost always find Dick working on one project or another – and have him come in to see!   

Adobe Reader will now  read any PDF file out loud to you!!!  And that includes my books that I have for sale on site: Retire In Luxury and Money Saving Mexico , and my children’s book:  Jo’s Big Question - and also, all of my Free Reports which you can download free from my sites.

First of all, you need to download the latest version of Adobe – that’s free at:  http://get.adobe.com/reader/

That program will then reside in your computer.

Next, bring up a PDF document…such as one of my books, or one of my newsletters.

At the top of your screen, you will see the Adobe options.   Go to “VIEW”.

It has a drop-down menu, so select “Read Out Loud”, and it will say “Activate Read Out Loud”.  Select that too.

Then, select “VIEW” again, and under that, now select “Read Out Loud” again, and to the side you will have options to: 1. Deactivate Read Out Loud, 2. Read this page only, and 3. Read to end of document.  So, select which option you want.

Now, go back to the PDF document or file you have opened, make sure you have your speakers at a comfortable level, then just lean back and enjoy – ‘cause the durn computer thing will read the whole thing to you – ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!  What a world!!

And, if you haven’t found these sites yet, try them:  You can download free classics at:    http://www.planetebook.com/ You can also download for your Kindles, your pc, or your IPod’s – totally free books at:  Amazon.com 

Absolutely the right price for all of us retirees!
