Convert files on Kindle Paperwhite to AZW3 possible?
Hello,
I have many documents on my Kindle Paperwhite, that I've sent without converting it to the AZW3 format, which now I understand it to be the optimum format. Kindle is a really suboptimal PDF reader. I have synced all my Kindle files with my library, so I could theoretically delete the Kindle files and resend them in the right format azw3. Only thing is, I'd lose my collections and the highlights. Is there a way to convert the documents on the Kindle itself directly? edit: I tried a few documents converted from pdf to azw3, the readability is not much better, few are, some are not. Is there a useful method with calibre at all to make pdfs Kindle Paperwhite readable? Last edited by Amaru; 12-22-2017 at 06:19 AM. |

Conversion does not make the document better.
Conversion from PDF is usually worse. PDF is a paste-up format, not a linear format. Conversion CAN allow you to add finer control by allowing further editing. |

And search the forums for "convert PDF", the topic has been discussed dozens if not hundreds of times at considerable length. Also take a look at k2pdfopt: optimizes PDFs for viewing on e-readers BR |
