Classic pdf & nook - Page 2

Calibre should be able to convert it to epub without any issues quite easily. What do you mean by *not even openable*. Do you see the file on the eink screen of the nook, and when you open it any errors to report ?

Open your pdf and try to use medium font size normally it should reflow it.

If your pdf is scanned images there isn't nothing you can do about it, just wait and purchase a soon to come 10 inch reader (QUE or Skiff).

Happy reading.

Calibre said it converted it to epub but it put 2 epub files on the nook when I asked it to export to device. Each file was approx 4 pages long and empty, except for maybe the cover art. I tried again and this time the nook gave an error trying to open both files.

I asked Calibre to put the pdf on the nook instead but when I open up the pdf in medium font, it gives each page twice--once in medium (reflowed) with awkward formatting (expected) and then again, in small, beautifully formatted. This means I read one page, turn page, read half the next page. The 2nd half of the next page is the first half of the SAME page in small font. Turn page, I get the 2nd half of the SAME page in small font. Turn page again, I go to the next page.

So it's read 1 page, read 1/2 page, hit "turn page" twice to read this book on my nook.
