Question about PDFs and Kindle DX

purl4peace · 06-11-2009, 03:11 PM

A major complaint seems to be you can't markup PDFs.

So I was wondering: would it work to convert the PDF to a MOBI and view the MOBI version in full-sized DX Glory and mark up to your heart's content?

Seems like that would be a fairly straight forward (and probably even legal!) workaround...

What do y'all think?

Yes, you can, but subject to the same issues PDF conversion always had.

I believe the ability to highlight and annotate PDFs will be upgraded in the future. I can't imagine schools being happy otherwise.
