Hello from Krishav

Hi all,

I'm Krishav. I read a lot of long books as PDFs, and they never look right on a small screen, so I've spent the last few months working on PDF to EPUB conversion: putting paragraphs back together, finding chapters, and OCR for scanned books.

I found this forum through old k2pdfopt and Calibre conversion threads, which taught me a lot. Looking forward to learning more here, and happy to help with PDF conversion questions where I can.

Welcome to MobileRead!

PDF conversions usually suck, so I tend to avoid PDF format like the plague. Fortunately most books I'm interested in reading are available as epubs.

Buy something with a larger screen (if you have the funds).

I have a first Generation Amazon Scribe and it works great on PDFs. Too, I find that for some PDFs, a Kobo Libra Colour - it has a small screen - can work fine in landscape mode on some PDFs. I primarily read fiction.
