If you absolutely love reading books on your Kindle, you will probably realize that if these PDFs somehow got transferred to your Kindle, you would definitelyread them right away. The question is, how do you convert PDF to Kindle formatand then transfer it to your device?

Why Convert a PDF to Kindle Format?

If you are the proud owner of a Kindle eBook reader, there have undoubtedly been situations where you wish you had the ability toconvert PDF to Kindle format. But why?There is noargumentthat the Kindle has always had the built-in ability to display PDF files without losing the formatting of the original file. All you need to do is use your USB cable to transfer the file from your computer to your device, email it to your Kindle email address or use the built-in web browser to view it.

In fact, the most recent versions of the Kindle have enhanced PDF support which allows for features such as magnifying text, viewing documents in landscape mode, adding notes and highlights, dictionary lookups, zooming and panning. But if you own an older version of the Kindle, none of these features are included. While you will be able to view PDF documents in their original format, you would not be able to use any of the features listed above. But what if you absolutely needed these features? The answer is simple: you will need to convert your PDF to Kindle format.

What PDF Features Are Available for Older Models?

For older models, the only available feature is the ability to view PDF files in their original format. Most of the time this may be adequate. However, if the font size on a PDF is very small and hard to read without zooming in, you would most likely not be able to read it on the smaller Kindle screen. In simpler terms, for older Kindle models, the PDF will look exactly the same as it appears on your computer monitor with no options to change it. What you see is what you get!
