I just got my DX and went on a rampage dl'ing books that the folks at Google have digitized and turned into .pdf files. The problem that I ran into is that the Kindle DX won't display the illustrations in the pdf files. I think the problem is that they're .bmp images, which the DX won't handle (NOTE: that is my OPINION. If anyone knows different, I'm always ready to be enlightened).

So, my question. How do I get my DX to display the google pdf book, complete with images, without me having to convert every *&%$^ image one-at-a-time by hand? I have adobe acrobat 8, but I can't figure out any way to get the images to convert and or display.

Help, and thanks in advance!
