: Re: Reading PDFs on Kindle device I have many interesting books and documents in PDF format. Can I read PDFs on Kindle in comfortable way? My concern is, that PDFs are adapted to the print page

As can be seen from the wide variety of answers, reading PDFs on Kindles is cumbersome at best. There are 2 reasons for this:

PDFs are formatted for a fixed width and height that usually exceeds the
resolution of E-ink Kindle devices, including the Kindle DX.
E-ink readers work best when used with E-ink optimized fonts, which are generally not used in PDFs.

After struggling to read PDFs for many months on both a regular size Kindle and a DX, I gave up. I sold my DX and now only use my Kindle for documents in the native Kindle format. However, there is a case where the Kindle conversion service works very well: when a PDF is 100% single column text or close to it.

I now read PDFs with an iPad (Retina Display), though any high resolution tablet with an LCD display is much easier to use for PDFs than an existing E-ink Kindle.

PDFs on Kindle's may get much better if Amazon releases a future E-ink Kindle with higher resolution.
