I've only recently gotten my Kindle with a primary purpose of using it to store and view journal articles. This way I don't have to print them out or keep switching windows from Acrobat to Word while writing articles. I have tried most of the methods listed on this page with varying results. So far the best method I have come up with to convert journal articles which are usually 2 column with images to a Kindle readable format is via the use of Acrobat Professional. By performing a "Save As" to HTML format and then using the MobiReader on the outputed HTML file, the articles get converted to single column, retain images (although they can be a bit small), and they are still searchable. Right now I'm looking for a free, command line tool that performs that PDF -> HTML conversion as well as Acrobat so that I can batch convert my files.
