Kindle DX Format help

Darian929

Hello,

I recently bought a kindle dx and I love it. Only issue it I have a bunch of technical books in pdf and when I imported them they look alright but the font is a bit to small... when I turn it in landscape font is nice and big. I tried a sample from the same book i have in pdf from the amazon kindle store and the font looks much better. I've tried a couple of converting programs but they seem to put the font in the right size but mess up the graphs and pictures. Anyone know here how to do it right?

Thanks

I have DX Graphite, but all my PDF looks fine. Actually, it auto cropped the PDF so the margin is gone, and the fonts are bigger.

Well I have a dx graphite also and I know what you mean because on mines the pdf's are also automatically cropped to fit the page of the kindle... however the fonts are a bit small to read from a distance.. i dont want to strain my eyes to much. If I were to download actual kindle books the font looks amazing.

Converting PDF into mobi won't help at all, especially if the PDF has screenshots, table, graph, or any graphic.

If you don't want to use PDF then the only option you have is buying either the .mobi or .azw ebooks.

I love my Kindle DX and I use it mainly for my PDFs for my studies and some azw fantasy book I bought.
I don't like the azw version of any study material because of formatting. I think Kindle is only good for story book.

The font might be small for some people but it's fine with me. I love my Kindle DXG, but I still would rather have the physical book. However, having no space for physical books means I have to suck it up.
