That's correct.

I am not an expert on this, I have mostly tried converting PDFs of old pulp stories from a old pulp site that has them presented in their original magazine format.
Or in other words, the PDFs are in two columns of text (along with illustrations).
At least for me, when I try to use Calibre, it sort of just pushes the two columns of text together, making it unreadable.
On the other hand, Mobipocket Creator Publisher Edition (which is free from
www.mobipocket.com) will do a pretty decent job of separating the columns, but you still lose some of the formatting.
It's readable, but it's not as nice looking as a mobi made from a plain text file, for instance, where it will look just like a novel.
But with one made from a pdf, you you might
have a
dropped line like this.
O
r maybe something like that.
Really, since all the software is free, try it yourself and see the results. Download the Mobipocket Creator
http://www.mobipocket.com/en/Downloa...ilsCreator.asp
And then Kindle PC (or the Kindle Emulator) from Amazon (I don't have the page for that handy)
