As people have said there doesn't seem to be a simple way to convert a PDF Screenplay into a readable format with formatting on the Kindle.

I'm sure it must be possible as the formatting on a screenplay is very unusual and consistent but it is a completely different set of rules to a normal document.

If there was some way in the conversion process to have more variation in the type of CSS used on HTML tags then it would be quite easy to deal with this.

Unfortunately I can't even see a way to do this easily from Final Draft if only they had an option to output the script in a format that contained the information you need to allow you to create a nice kindle version.

By the way by playing with the CSS options you can create something that is partially indented and looks more like a script but in no way perfect.

Be fascinated if anyone manages this consistently.
