Quick start - error in type.convert about wordvectors

[bmschmidt]

Thanks for the bug report. This was my fault, forgetting to test the walkthrough all the way through to the end.

It should be fixed now in the readme, by changing the filename from "cookbooks.vectors" to "cookbook_vectors.bin".

If you've already run the model, you can also pick up in the quick start by running `model = read.binary.vectors("cookbooks.vectors").

The problem was that I changed the default storage format from text to binary with the latest release. But I didn't change the extension on the saved file. Since the function guesses at the filetype using the extension, it was trying to read a binary file as text.

days. Thanks again. ~b
