: Re: How to use the e-ink Kindle readers to display photos? The Kindle e-readers that lack full color displays also lack an app for displaying photos. Is there a way to get a series of photos

Using LibreOffice Writer

Create a new document and go to Format->Page.
Click the "Page" tab and change "Width" and "Height" to 3" and 4" respectively. Note that the important factor here is the aspect ratio, not the particular dimensions. You want to match the aspect ratio of your Kindle's screen as closely as possible.

Set the margins to a low number (⅛" is a good value).
Click "OK" to close the dialog and go to Insert->Picture->From File.
Select the picture you would like to insert into the document and click "Open".
You should end up with something like this:

Go to File->Export As PDF.
Of particular importance here is the "Reduce image resolution" setting. Using a value larger than 150dpi will just waste space in the PDF. Make sure the option is checked and set to a low value (120 is probably a good choice).

Click "Export" and select a location for your PDF.
Transfer the file to your device.

Enjoy your pictures! Note that you can pinch to zoom and pan on the Kindle Touch.
