Hello,

I have many documents on my Kindle Paperwhite, that I've sent without converting it to the AZW3 format, which now I understand it to be the optimum format. Kindle is a really suboptimal PDF reader.

I have synced all my Kindle files with my library, so I could theoretically delete the Kindle files and resend them in the right format azw3. Only thing is, I'd lose my collections and the highlights.

Is there a way to convert the documents on the Kindle itself directly?

edit: I tried a few documents converted from pdf to azw3, the readability is not much better, few are, some are not. Is there a useful method with calibre at all to make pdfs Kindle Paperwhite readable?
