A Tip for Kindle DX users

Here is a tip on how to quickly create PDF ebooks for your Kindle DX.

If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro it is simple -- view a webpage and from the toolbars menu at the top of your browser press File--> Print... then select Print to PDF and Bob's your uncle (I always wanted to say that).

If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Pro then you can use Firefox with a free plug-in. Just google "Firefox print to PDF".

One of the advantages of Acrobat Pro is that you can combine several PDFs into a single PDF. However, there is probably some free stuff on the web that will allow you to do the same thing. (Acrobat Pro retails for almost $500, but if you are in school or have a kid in school then you can get an educational discount bringing the cost down to around $100. There are also several sites selling it for around $80 but caveat emptor).

Lately I've become interested in Natural Language Processing (NLP) using the Python programming language. There is a ton of stuff on both NLP and Python on the web, and I have found it extremely useful to convert these webpages into PDF documents, which I can then view on my Kindle DX. I now have tons of documentation and tutorials as nice little PDF docs on my Kindle.

Bottom line -- Print to PDF is wicked awesome.
