Conversion solution to have the best layout ?
(sorry for my bad english)
I would like to convert pdf to mobi but when I use Mobicreator or Calibre the Layout is absolutly not respected. Is it a better solution to use an OCR like Omnipage ? And is there not a way to detect the titles according to the font size to create a table of contents? Thank in advance, Kniebolo |

pdf is not the best start for conversion.
why not read pdfs on the kindle as they are ? |

Unfortunately, as you say, PDFs can rarely be converted to other formats with a terribly satisfactory result; some degree of manual editing will generally be required. |

Ok Harry, so it's normal if my result is bad. I will try to lay out in word but it may be tedious for large books. :y
Geoff, read the pdf format is not obvious on the Kindle 3. It's probably a better buy the Kindle DX for those who have a large collection of pdfs |
