ithildin: (Holiday - Xmas Silver Paper)
So I'm trying to put books on the Kindle we got mum for Xmas. She loves romances, so I thought I'd get her a Harlequin subscription, and bought a single book as a test. I read through a bunch of stuff and chose the Adobe PDF version since Kindle supports PDF files. Except after I bought it, I found another FAQ that says they can't be read on a Kindle. Is there some sort of conversion program? I know I've read that people put there fanfic on a Kindle, so I'm hoping :)

Hi,
I know I don't usually post but I thought I would this time. If you use the program 'Calibre', (this works with MAC or PC) you can convert your PDF files that do not display well on the Kindle to the 'mobi' files that it like. You can do this with your fanfiction as well. I have over 2,000 slash fan fiction, (Duncan/Methos only) and I have them all on one kindle. All have been turned into 'mobi' file. Also with Calibre you can convert most other ebook file formats. So if you have Lit, Rar, TXT PDF, etc you will be able to convert them.
The only problem that I have found in converting is the time that it take to do it.

I hope this helps and if you need help converting please let me know.
