Best way to make text on PDFs bigger?
PDFs display fine on my K3, except for the text is too small. What is the best way to increase the text size? I've seen some PDF to HTML to mobi converters, but the formatting is lost. I read technical books that contain lists, tables, charts, etc so that's just replacing one problem with another.
Then I saw Duokan, has "better PDF support" and they showed a PDF comparison and the text was bigger. Would that be my only option to simply increase the text size, or is there another way? |

Woah! You're right, thanks!
Your recommendation is currently my favorite, but I'm still curious as to other options. It's a definite improvement, but I'd still like the text a little bigger. |

Does Doukan work with K3 v3.2.1 and once I put it on the Kindle all I have to do to install it is turn the Kindle off then back on? How have you experienced any problems with Doukan? |

Magnifying glass?
Seriously make sure you bump the contrast level up a notch. It usually helps make the small text more readable. |

Try downloading Briss to crop out the margins on your PDFs or to divide them up into half pages before transferring them to your Kindle, if you find that helps. It is freeware.
