My usual disclaimer applies: I made this for my own use, but I'm happy to share it with those who are interested in trying it out. I post it for download without any warranty or guarantee. Use it "as is."

I've made every effort to format the file in a useful, accessible way, but I'm sure there are still errors. If you have questions or problems, don't hesitate to post them in the comments section, but I don't promise I'll be able to help. This isn't my "day job." :-)

Here's to happy conference reading. I hope you grow spiritually and find peace and comfort in the words of living prophets.

Just for fun (and only if you want to), please post a comment about where you are downloading the file(s) from.

*As I posted yesterday, this file is primarily for e-ink Kindle users. It'll work just fine on the Kindle Fire (I have both, spoiled geek that I am), but for Fire users the text of the conference is available in the Kindle Fire Gospel Library app.

It's conference time again

Just finished the Saturday morning session of General Conference. Lots to think about. Keri and I spent the morning trying to help kids sit and listen. ;-)

I'm curious... with the many ways that the proceedings of conference are now available, I wonder how many people will be looking for the conference on Kindle again. Let me know, please, via the comments, if you would like me to format the conference proceedings for Kindle again. I'm happy to do it. Just wondering if there's a need.

Happy Saturday all!

Oct 2011 General Conference for Kindle

As promised, here are the October 2011 General Conference addresses formatted for Kindle (all talks in one AZW file). Download this file and transfer to your Kindle's "documents" folder via USB.

For help transferring documents to your Kindle via USB.

I'm not a nook user, so I have no idea whether this file will work, but I converted the AZW file to EPUB (which I believe is the nook's native format). Some nook user (Thom?) try this and let me know (via comments on this page) if it works, please. Happy reading.

I am not an employee nor a representative of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I created this file for my own use and for the use of a few friends who visit this blog. Nothing official is stated nor implied by my posting of this file. Concerned parties, including the Church, are invited to comment on this posting for a swift reply. Happy conference reading. 

Conference for Kindle - Oct 2011

The 181st Semiannual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints concluded yesterday. The text of the conference is usually available on the Thursday afterwards. I'm planning to format the texts for Kindle again this conference, so watch this space for a note (and a link).

Speaking of conference, it was a thrilling one in a couple of respects. The announcement that the Provo Tabernacle will be restored as a temple was great news. The other temples to be built gave me a thrill as well-- particularly the ones in Africa (the second temple in South Africa, and the CONGO!!), and the one in Star Valley.

My parents both grew up in Star Valley and I've spent many happy summers and holidays there. I know many of the saints in the valley, and I have many family members who live there. I can imagine how thrilling it was for them to hear the news that their little piece of heaven will have a temple. My aunt posted a telling note on facebook. She wrote, "So amazed and humbled that Star Valley will have a temple. I can't stop crying." I've felt the same way. I still get emotional as I think about it now. 

LDS General Conference on Kindle

I'm not sure I've done it all properly -- in terms of making a really workable Kindle document (it seems to work okay so far) -- but I've gathered up all the sessions of the recent General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (including the General Relief Society Meeting) into one file and made it available for Kindle users.

Of course, the copyright still belongs to the Church, so if I should not make this available to others, I hope someone will let me know (please use the comments section - it's monitored) and I'll take down the link.

In the meantime, Kindle users, this may prove useful. Let me know what you think (also via the comments section). How would you do it differently? How can I make it better?

My review of my Kindle is still coming--- I promise.
