unable to read newspapers

gerriboland · 02-04-2011, 07:41 PM

Hello

I am a newbie. I have a Kindle 3G. However my question is more related to readability of downloaded newspapers on my computer. I have successfully downloaded 2 Australian newspapers onto my desktop using Calibre. However I can't zoom in to increase the font size and am unable to read on the computer using Calibre or the Amazon Kindle software for pcs .

Thanks in advance

You might want to ask about your issue in the specific Calibre subforum a bit down the forum list.

The papers I get (LA Times, Seattle Times and one or two others), all appear almost like any page in a book, with book-like font sizes on my Kindle3. I have them automatically mailed to it. I don't think I set it up in any special way. I just chose the periodicals I wanted and they sent across very readable. Have you set Calibre up to generate mobi - the format that the kindle uses?

I always read the newspapers on the computer when I get up in the morning... They always go down with my morning coffee..
