I converted a pdf magazine to epud format using Calibre. the problem i'm having is when i zoom into the text it gets distorted and unreadable.

can any one help ? is there a setting on Calibre that would prevent this.


Thanks.
fixed title spelling

That suggests the PDF file was really just scanned images so you are limited by the resolution of the scan. If it was a text PDF then zooming would leave the text sharply defined, and should also allow text re-flow between lines.

First, make sure you read this:

Next, it looks like you are converting images of text pages, not text, so you need maximum resolution to zoom in. Your specified device controls resolution (Calibre makes your images match your device screen size). You can try using a tablet device for better resolution, or better, just stick with the original PDF.

Perhaps you could OCR the pdf first.
Documents scanned to images are not very user friendly on a computer, much less an ebook reader. Lots of pdf magazines are like that.

It is ePub, not epud.

It's not serious. I've gotten picked up before on errors I've made in a thread where the topic has to do with errors.
