Thank goodness! And about time! Just downloaded it, and finally I can read some of the stuff I downloaded that weren't formatted for the Kindle 6" screen, such as The New Glucose Revolution Shopper's Guide to GI Values.

Sounds like a great read, Michael! I subscribe to the Corbinistan blog on my Kindle for the latest in GI values, and in a few moments I will post a piece on how to download it and other blogs to your Kindle for Mac or PC.

Steve: This just goes to show you how acronyms can cause miscommunication at times. The GI in the title of The New Glucose Revolution refers to the Glycemic Index, not soldiers! Went to Corbin's blog and couldn't find a thing about the Glycemic Index! Thanks for your reply though, and keep up the good work with Kindle Nation Daily
