I have an old book scanned in pdf format as 2 book pages in a page. As the scan quality is not good, I can't use OCR to change the pdf into a flowable/readable text format and convert to mobi. Therefore, I used briss to cut the double pages into one page in pdf format,but the pages look small in my kindle 3's 6 inch screen. I converted pdf to images as one jpeg file for each page.What is the best way to view these in kindle 3, how can I change the jpeg files into a size to be displayed best in 6 inch screen? And another question, should I put the pictures as jpeg to kindle or is it better to change them again to pdf or some other format after resizing?
