How to Convert Your PDF Files to ePub/Mobi Format

By | December 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment

convertpdf-ebook-mainIf you own an ebook reader, the popular Kindle Fire or NOOK Color, I am sure that you won’t want to read your PDF files on it. PDF is a great file format for printing and sharing documents that don’t require edits, but for ebook reading, it is definitely not the preferred format. Amazon Kindle uses the .mobi format while some other ebook reader uses the .epub format.

Over the past few years, I have amassed a great collection of ebooks, albeit in pdf format. I have recently got myself a tablet and found that reading pdf ebooks on the device is a tiring task.

Converting these pdf ebooks to epub/mobi format becomes an necessary task.

Easily Convert A Web Page to PDF in Google Chrome

By | October 29, 2010 |

chromepdf-mainI am not sure about you, but every time I came across a great tutorial on the Web, I will convert the content to a pdf file and keep it for future reference. Some of you might be pondering why I am wasting my time converting it to pdf since I can just bookmark the site.
