How I Read PDFs on Kindle

Not only can you send PDFs directly to your Kindle to read them, you can also convert them to Kindle format to let you highlight and take notes.

I use ipad for scanned pdf and kindle for ebooks and non scanned pdf converted to kindle format and for epub books(of course jailbroken nn). I read kindle books when i am outside while i use ipad when i am indoor. I mostly use ipad only for scanned books and the pdf that is not convertible(which uses some proprietry fonts or with custom font embedding ). With both device, its a holistic experience.

[@philm12]

Helpful, thanks

[@nada.6711]

I did but the language of the book is Arabic so when I put convert it’s change to another language!

[@henovdmerwe3142]

Thx👍

[@udheshverenker9819]

Thanks this was helpful.

[@FindYourFlow]

Thank you! :)

Thank you !

Hi Ana, You're very welcome!

[@stormsith5169]

Hi, I have downloaded a PDF on my Kindle fire 8, and I want to read it via Kindle app and have it saved there like a normal book would be, how may I do this? Thank you. 😁😁

[@FindYourFlow]

Hey are you able to access the PDF in the folder it’s downloaded to? You can attach it to an email and send it to that “send to Kindle” email address unique to you with the subject “convert” to get it to open as a normal Kindle book.

[@shridhan6688]

I have some pdfs already sent to Kindle app in my iPad. How to convert them to Kindle format so I can highlight sentences ? Not possible to highlight in pdf.

[@FindYourFlow]

If you follow the steps and email the pdf to your Kindle address for your account, make sure you type “convert” in the subject line of the email before hitting send and it’ll convert the PDF to kindle format and allow highlights.

[@shridhan6688]

@@FindYourFlow yes thanks. But now the files are only on my iPad and visible in Kindle app. No option to mail in that app. Need to find where those files are stored. Would have been easy in Android.

[@Twigster1]

Hello from across the pond. I'm just wondering how images/graphics appear on a Kindle?

[@FindYourFlow]

Hey hey! Great to hear from you. Images and graphics appear in grayscale - I think that in my older video on iPad versus Kindle reading I show some examples. I like the quality of the images even if they're in grayscale. You can zoom in on the Kindle to see more details. It doesn't refresh as fast or as smoothly as something like an iPad or other tablet will but it works for me.

[@user-me3pb9px9i]

Which kindle do u have and which one do u recommend

[@FindYourFlow]

Hi Meha, I have the Signature Edition Paperwhite that I bought a couple of years ago. There's a video on it and I talk about which I recommend but I think that unless you really care about wireless charging, the basic is perfect :) I do still like the larger screens on the paperwhite. It makes a difference for me.

[@aditip6695]

Does this still work? I have a pdf that I want to read on the kindle format where you can change text size and highlight and stuff

[@FindYourFlow]

Yep! I still use it, so it's working! I also have a video using Calibre to convert epubs to Kindle format that works for pdfs if you get any formatting issues when sending through your kindle email.

[@aditip6695]

ty for replying so quick, just sent an email hope it works@@FindYourFlow

[@aditip6695]

IT WORKED !!

[@BS22-po2qx]

If you convert scientific journal pdf to kindle what happens to the figures? Do that turn out alright?

[@FindYourFlow]

The figures will be kept intact as images so you'll be able to zoom in and view them! The formatting for scientific journals can work out pretty well sometimes. Most journal articles are two columns on the page and this can sometimes get jumbled in the process.

[@games-by2fy]

what about pdf made with scanner ?

[@FindYourFlow]

That’s a great question! I’m not really sure. I’ll have to try it and see. I don’t know if the Kindle conversion does OCR to convert the text on the scan into characters or not. It might depend on the scanner and whether it has OCR built in. Or you may have to send the PDF to something like Evernote or Apple notes first where it can do the character recognition.

[@Le3Haneul]

Where can I find the convert after sending the email?

[@FindYourFlow]

If it worked, it'll show up as the most recent file in your library. What size is the file you're sending? If it's too big it might not go through. I'm not sure what the limitation is but do know that there's a limit as sending books with lots of images doesn't always go through.

[@rudranewaz6664]

in email you send file up to 25mb... wb bigger files

[@FindYourFlow]

Depending on how much bigger than 25 mb it is, you could use calibre to compress the images. Or it may require splitting the pdf which I know isn't ideal but it would work to keep the files under the limit.

[@FindYourFlow]

hey man, just put together a video showing how I would go about doing this with the two different options I think would work best depending on whether your pdf is a textbook, manga, comic, or just lots of large image files. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnvIZq2OgdRsjJo

[@michaelvonfriedrich3924]

you did not show anything on how to actually perform the function of sending and where to find the files you sent to kindle

[@FindYourFlow]

Hi Michael, it’s at 1:56 in the video. You email it to your send to kindle email. Use whatever email service you like. It’ll show up as the most recent item in your kindle library when you’re connected to the internet. Usually takes a little while to arrive.

[@akaniletorshambisa5724]

I've just watched this...?any thinks

[@FindYourFlow]

Thank you for watching :) Let me know if there are any other questions I can help with.

[@Babak7712]

Thank you But that’s not the pdf format anymore I think the better title is: How I convert pdf files to read on the Kindle 🙏

[@FindYourFlow]

I thought I mentioned it but you read PDFs the same way, you just don't send the message with a subject line so that it sends the pdf directly to your kindle.

[@Babak7712]

@@FindYourFlow You are right. Thank you 🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@bhoqeem1975]

PDF sucks! Seriously.

[@FindYourFlow]

They definitely are a frustrating format to read.

[@marimo5988]

Can I just say that you saved my kindle! I can read so much more on it now and i can save my phone’s battery! I love you bro! You are magic 🪄 ❤

[@FindYourFlow]

Yo thanks dude! Happy to help.
