Magazinify

Believe it or not, one thing I still don't own is either an e-reader or some kind of "smart" technology that enables you to down load text. I was on firefox browser comparing items when I came across Magazinify. The site state that Magazinify organizes articles you wish to read, converts them to pdf format and mails them to you at the end of the day. I found this to be interesting and wondered how can an educator use this? Simple.....Magazinify will create ready to read copies of articles you wish to have in your class, eliminating annoying ads and popups. If you don't have firefox, just drag the bookmark toolbar to your browser. http://magazinify.com/
Here is a link from CNET describing how to set this all up.
