Yew, it says right at amazon that it converts many formats, including MS

No, it says on their site that it especially likes MS Word or any .txt file.
I just wanted to know if anyone was uploading material with open Office.
I'll ask them ... -
Whatever happened to that nice Word Perfect I wrote my horse encyclopedia

I don't know about for the Kindle, but there's a program called Calibre

Google for and look at Calibre. It will readily convert OpenOffice .odt files to almost any ebook format and alow one to download direct to the Kindle by USB. No need to go near Amazon or anybody else.

I'll answer my own question. Amazon will convert files (possibly at a
cost, depending on how they send the results back), or files can be
uploaded over usb. My apprehension was therefore groundless. (Although I
must say I'm surprised no-one has come back on this. Maybe the
intersection of kindle users, AOO users and and list subscribers is the
empty set :-) )

I think you just don't understand how Kindle works ... Not just anyone can
upload or access whatever is there.

Can any confirm please whether this is indeed part of amazon's scheme,
and whether others may be differently managed?

Not sure I understand you, Mike. I an an author. To get one's book on
Kindle, one must upload it from their computer to amazing's Kindle
converter. No email involved. Just sending the completed file.

If it will read a pdf, you can always export as pdf (or use a
pseudo-printer, which has some advantage) from within AOO.
My own reservation is that AIUI you have to email everything to Amazon
for downloading to your kindle, which (a) is stoopid on sundry counts,
and (b) gives them access to everything you read. OT I know, but while
we're here, can anyone confirm/deny this please?

LOL! Thanks!! I'm just into writing books . Does anyone there know if the
Kindle "thing" at amazon can read files from Open Office? I'm not about to
buy Word from Microsoft again ... After installing several times due to
hard drive crashes and trying to put it on a new computer ... I was
informed I had used up my opportunities to install. I paid $149 for that
CD!! Shall we talk about greed?
Thanks again, Bonnie

She is subscribed, you can know this by looking at the message headers;
moderated messages have in the header the field
Delivered-To: moderator for ${MAILING LIST}

Considering how long it took for me to receive your
email from the mailing list, you may not be subscribed yet.
What did you do to subscribe? It is a two step
process. The first step is to send an email to
ooo-users-subscribe@incubator.apache.org. (You probably
already did this.) The mailing list then sends you an email
to verify that you want to subscribe. The second step is to
reply to that email. Open that email, click the Reply
button, and send that email. (This is the step that you
might not have done yet.
