Can you tell me that these PDF you generate are somehow magical and can be converted error free?
Jon,

Have you even *TRIED* news2pdf.com?

I'll try to make this explanation simple:

Most PDF files are formatted for an 8.5"x11" page. When the Amazon software converts these 8.5" x 11" PDF files, the Amazon conversion can be "lousy."

Www.News2PDF PDF Files are formatted to a 90mm x 120mm page. When Amazon converts 90mm x 120mm PDF files the result is a good-looking, highly readable Kindle page.

Can you honestly tell me that there is NEVER a single error in the conversion from PDF to Mobipocket?

When we create the formatted PDF files (and have complete control over it), then yes, this is correct, there are RARELY any errors in conversion.

Again, I'll ask (and again you will avoid the answer) Have you even *tried* the program you're making so many comments about?

I have a 505, it will handle the PDF as is.

Charles,

You need to update the Kindle info on your pages with the new 15 cents/megabyte charges for wireless transfer. If you don't already, you'll want to let Kindle customers use their @free.kindle.com address, if they want to avoid the charges.
