Babe in the Woods

All my friends are hooked into Ipad, Kindel, Nooks, and what have you. I was the holdover, resisting this electronic lure the best I could. Today I surrendered; I received a gift of a kindel, and I checked the benefits of an Ipad.

Today I downloaded my pdf book to calibre and had it converted. Since I know zero about this software I just clicked ok thinking it would convert with basically the same look I see when reading the pdf file. Well I was shocked to see pages partitioned in ways I have not anticipated.

My question what is the quickest I could learn how to control the look and feel of the resulting conversion?

Thanks.

Since this is the Introduce Yourself forum, why not take the time and courtesy to....introduce yourself.

Then, look around the site and have fun.

Ask in the calibre forum. But PDF isn't a good source format, so the results are never going to be brilliant.
