Nice! Did anyone make a mobi file so I can read it in my Kindle? PDF s*cks!



You can email your @kindle.com account with a PDF attachment, and it'll be delivered to your device. Google the details.


First, it just will convert it the word "convert" is in the email subject.

Second, this is almost useless for multi-columns PDFs. It just works fine with very simple PDFs. Everything with a minimal of complexity becomes junk.

Reading PDFs in the kindle is a terrible experience. The text doesn't reflow. You get lost in multiple columns. Even the next doesn't work fine.

Since it is something open, with the original content published in GitHub, I thought someone should have generated a mobi file.


Yes, but the experience isn't great IMO.


Kindle should be able to read pdf. If you don't mind me asking, which kindle version are you using?


Kindle support to PDF is really suboptimal. It doesn't zoom or reflow anything and reading multiple columns documents is quite an hassle (at least on mine, first version paperwhite)


I have the second version, and it is also terrible. You shouldn't buy kindles to read PDFs.
