Fire 8.9 HDX Frustrations!

Hi All,

I'm Dave from the UK & have/love my 4th Gen 8.9" HDX. However, there's a really frustrating problem I can't seem to overcome & I was hoping some kind soul out there could assist me.

I have dozens of magazines & books in PDF format & I'm at a loss on how to convert & resize them so they are full screen on my tablet. I'm using the latest version of Calibre & output to either AZW3 or MOBI format as suggested & have no trouble transferring to my device or have them showing up on the carousel.

The problem is viewing size on the tablet. All pages are about a third of the screen size & I can't pinch zoom them to fit. What am I doing wrong? Surely there must be a way of getting these files to look & act like the books I buy from the Amazon store? I could send a copy of one of the PDF's by e-mail if required but feel it's something I'm not quite grasping.

Please help!

Best wishes from a sunny Lincolnshire in the UK.
Dave
