Hi everybody.

I recently bought a kindle. I decided that it would help with my bed reading

Until now, I've been reading all my books on the computer, but I always missed reading before bed. With my new kindle I can do just that, or so I thought.

I converted a few books just to try it out. Two of them ( converted from .lit to .mobi )worked perfectly, however, the rest are displayed horribly. Theres a huge line space in between each sentence. The font size is OK, but the space is just too much. It makes any reading impossible.

I noted this only happens with PDF files. Coincidentally, 99% of my ebooks are PDF !! I tried playing with different options under the "look and feel" section, specially those relating to line spacing, but nothing works. I'm desperate.

Can anyone give me any tips or hint me in the right direction? I'm willing to dedicate the time to create a CSS style sheet, f that can help. Though I have no idea how to write CSS.

Any help is welcome,

Thanks.
