Hello there.
I bought a Kindle 3 recently and so far I'm loving it. Still, as everynthing is this life it isn't perfect and I'm struggling with some PDFs.
I've read a bit in the forum about PDF conversion but couldn't find a definitive answer for a format that is more lilely to read without problems on kindle. So I would like to know if any of you has any trick or tip that you can share with me for reading heavily imaged PDFs (scanned books types). Here's what I've tried so far:
- conversion to epub and mobi = total disaster
- OCR = Painfull work, bad results on some books (i.e. books too image crowded, on which even after taking the texts and processing with OCR, leaves a mess and unreadable text + big images)
- croping the margins of the .pdf to fit Kindle screen better = looked promissor in the beginning but ended up as a failure 'cause I wasn't able to turn the pdf pages into a resolution kindle wouldn't have to 'scale' them. Without that, it takes a lot of time to turn pages beacuse of the poor rendering speed in image heavy .pdfs
So far, the 3rd option was the one I think that can be tweaked in a way that will work (i.e. maybe literally 'cutting' each page into separate and sequencial images so i can easily read in portrait mode) I tried with PDFRead (found here in the forums) but it leaves too much blank spaces.
Anyway, guess I wrote too much, I would like to see if anyone else would like to discuss and maybe achieve a method to fit those big bad .pdfs on the small kindle screen
