MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - PRS-300 Converting PDF via Calibre for Reader 300

I don't have a way of editing PDFs only creating them. The PDFs look exactly like they do with an Acrobat Reader on the Sony, they are just like miniture versions. You can read some in good light but if you have something with footnotes you are stuffed! All the zoom function does is just make the text a little bolder.

I would have bought the PRS-600 just for the bigger screen but I couldn't stand the reflections when I tried one.

It's really weird the way that Calibre works with these PDFs. It seems to convert the first page fine then it just gives loads of page numbers, in a list like they are some form of bookmark, followed by a blank page or two. When you view the converted document on the viewer it looks fine but not on the Reader.

I just want the thing to do what it says on the tin!

Thanks for the reply,

Mark
