Luckily I found a work-around that I have applied to blogger books I've been investing in, as well as to other e-books I have bought recently. It does its best and zooms into a part of the page, but then you have to click up-down left-right to navigate instead of next page and this destroys the reading experience.Īll of the graphics also makes them horrible to print out if that's what you ultimately want to do. Unfortunately though, many bloggers who sell PDFs don't produce them as simple text with some images instead they format them to have double (or triple) columns on one page, put logos or other useless info in the sides, use a dark colour, bars across the top/bottom etc.Įven for reading on a computer screen I can't say I like all of his to distract me, but no e-Reader can possibly automatically render this in an easy to read format. Most PDFs you will come across online (for free) are actually just pure text and the Kindle opens these directly and as long as you read it in landscape mode, it renders it fantastically and you can simply click next page and read it very easily. I've got the fantastic Amazon Kindle ( International free 3G version since I'm a traveller, but the $139 wifi version will be fine for most people), and you know what? After over two months, I still haven't bought any books from the Amazon Kindle store!Įverything I have been reading has been either completely free content or an e-book that I have bought through other sites.

Thanks to ditching dead trees and embracing 21st century technology I have been reading a lot more lately and really enjoying myself. ( Note: The Fluent in 3 Months book has been converted to be read on all devices, using the techniques in this post.)
