I was listening to the podcast and it stopped suddenly when Heather was describing her keyboard shortcut for reading \"massive amounts\" of web content. I tried on iTunes and then direct download from your site and wasn\'t able to get past that point. I\'ll try again later today, but I wanted you to know about the problem I\'ve experienced.

Here are the steps to add the keyboard shortcut to your Mac to Save As PDF.
1. Open System Preferences from the Apple Menue
2. Click \"Keyboard & Mouse\"
3. Click \"Keyboard Shortcuts\"
4. Scroll down the window to the area at the bottom where you can add your own shortcuts.
5. Click on \"All Applications\"
6. Click the \"+\" symbol in the lower left
7. Enter \"Save As PDF...\" in the Menu Item box (without the quotes)
8. Enter \"⌘P\" as the keyboard shortcut. That is the Apple Command key - without the quotes.
9. Click \"Add\" and close the Systems Preferences box.
Go to your favorite news site and look for an article with the \"Print\" link. Click \"Print\" to get the clean, formatted version of the page and then hit ⌘P twice.
Heather and Ron, thanks! I have a PC...I wonder if this would work for me? I sometimes end up turning my web browsing stuff (or the NYT) into a Word doc and emailing it to my Kindle...seems like the same process.
BTW, I was able to get the podcast to work correctly this evening. I think my Internet connection was a bit wonky today.
Keep up the good work!
