Hello everybody!

I just got my first Kindle a few days, and here is what I want help with.

I've got a huge PDF file with many books - around 200 megabytes. Since it's not very comfortable reading a PDF on Kindle, I want to have it in mobi format. Calibre and one other conversion program just hang up when I was trying to convert the file. So what I did was this - copied one of the books out as text and pasted it into a document, later to convert to mobi. But both the document and the mobi have wrapped the lines of text how right where they end in the actual pdf. So it looks quite messed up on Kindle screen - some lines with single words, many random breaks in text, etc.

So the best thing would be if I could convert the whole pdf, but I think it's the big size that is the problem. But if I could get the text wrapped correctly, it would also be alright.

Thank you!
