So.. the challenge: how can I convert this document so it views great on my Sony PRS-500, and subsequently for any Sony Reader? http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/pdfs/...s_handbook.pdf
I'm looking for the best conversion technique available. |
Actually, if you import that .pdf into Mobipocket Creator, it will do a very decent job OCR'ing it into .html. From the resulting .prc ebook, just add it to Calibre and convert it to .lrf or .epub there.
However, it's not perfect and would need to be "cleaned up" or tweaked to fit on the Sony's screen better.
Here are some Q&D results of that conversion, done in less than five minutes.
