Question about reading an ebook...

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:16 am

I have Children of Hurin ebook, pdf format or whatever, what i'd like to do is somehow read the book using windows media center on my xbox 360, so i can read the book from my bed in my room, as opposed to sitting at the computer chair? Do you guys follow me? Is this possible?

At first i saved the pdf file as txt, but apparently i can't look at txt files in windows media center


I'm confused

1. Hook your computer to the TV

2. Open the PDF file on the TV Monitor

There's no way to do it with the 360. The only way to do it with any console would be to use a fat PS3 that never got the firmware upgrades and as such still has access to "Other OS".

Seems silly to me anyway. Reading on a TV is not something I ever find pleasant.

wait a minute, i just thought of something, i think i can put the pdf on a usb stick, plug the stick into my 360 and then read from that on my tv?


edit...tv and computer in 2 different rooms, and yes, reading a book on a tv, sounds silly, i know, but i havent read the book yet, and cant afford to buy it just quite yet

No, because the 360 does not have a PDF reader. What part of "there is no way to do it with the 360" was unclear?
