Members Bro Jim Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 Here is a web site where you can down load a program from that converts PDF and other files to MOBI, it makes those files readable on a Kindle or other MOBI based readers. Works pretty good too. It made PDF easy to read on my Kindle. Oh and it is FREE. The link http://calibre-ebook.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brother Rick Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 That's neat. From my own experience, if you want to sell a Kindle book the best way is to have it formatted in Word and upload it that way. Obviously this program is for something you have on PDF and don't intend to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a 200+ page book that I got in PDF, thats almost a ream of paper and now it is on my kindle. I posted to link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Invicta Posted March 10, 2011 Members Share Posted March 10, 2011 can you read e books on a PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bro Jim Posted March 11, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2011 can you read e books on a PC? It depends on the e book, if it is formated in a pdf then yes if it is in MOBI you may have to get a program for it and Mobi is what most kindle style readers use, I think Amazon offers such a program if you are buying their books. But the pdf stuff yes you can read it on your computer I have done it but now convert to Mobi for my kindle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have saved all my publications as PDF, I don't have Kindle and am unlikely to be able to afford one and don't really covet one, although Amazon says |I need one, but that is what all the advertisers say.

Members Montanabeliever Posted September 20, 2013 Members Share Posted September 20, 2013 I know this is an old topic but I do have a question. When you convert from a PDF to a .MOBI file, does it import the pictures from the PDF? I've noticed some of the Baptist History books I have on my Kindle have placeholders for an etching or illustration, but not many of them show up.
