If reading is your pleasure then you must be craving an e-reader. All of them are in vogue these days with Amazon Kindles, Sony, Nooks, even iPads and smartphones to a certain extent. Kindle is of course, at the top of the table right now. With the proprietary Kindle format (AZW), both Kindle 3 and DX support PDF files.
The AZW (Amazon Whispernet) format is better optimized for reading and publishing on devices. PDF eBooks don’t always display as well on the Kindle’s smaller screen, so you may want to convert your PDF eBook or document to a more Kindle-friendly format. While the PDF is readable using the Amazon Digital Text Platform, you can make it better by optimizing the text size and layout to be larger than readable. ( Courteous image gillyberlin )
Among the many PDF or Kindle converters, Kindle/PDF (K2PdfOpt) is one of them. It features smart cropping and batch processing features.
K2PdfOpt does not perform simple conversions; it maximizes the reading area of the PDF file and makes for better readability on the 6-inch Kindle screen. It converts the PDF file to a bitmap and then automatically maximizes the viewing area by cropping, cropping and recombining the viewable areas. It removes extra whitespace and intelligently repeats the original file to improve throughput. Note that it do not do make the pages flow seamlessly, or remove the footer like in Kindle’s default AZW format.
K2PdfOpt handles PDFs with two-column layouts particularly well. It automatically detects two-column documents. Another notable feature is that it also preserves the original fonts and graphics without dithering them unlike many other converters.
The conversion process is quick and fully automatic. You can take a folder full of PDF documents and convert them to Kindle-friendly PDF format with a simple drag-and-drop process.
Convert PDF – Just Drag ‘N Drop
Drag and drop a PDF document or a folder onto the K2PdfOpt icon.
The conversion is quick and new PDFs are saved in the same location as the original file with “_k2opt” at the end of each file’s name.
Retaining the original feel of the graphics and fonts comes at a cost because the bitmap method increases the final file size. But that’s a small price to pay for a better reading experience. Converting bitmaps also makes the document searchable.
Some of these downsides aside, K2PdfOpt is one of the best tools out there for making your PDFs more Kindle-friendly.
