Formatting Manga for Crisp and Easy Reading on Your Kindle If you’re curious which formats are the best for conversion, they lay it out in their extensive FAQ here. You can easily swap out the ePUB part for MOBI and convert to your heart’s content for your Kindle.

PDF files aren’t usually formatted for ebook readers (the margins are huge, the fonts don’t scale, etc.) so even though you can load them on your Kindle you’ll likely want to convert them.įortunately Calibre, a third party and open source ebook manager, is amazingly robust and perfect for managing an ebook library of any size and with practically any device.

The Kindle, as of firmware 2.3, also supports PDF files. The Kindle can natively handle the following file types: MOBI, PRC, TXT, and TPZ. If you have ebooks that you have purchased from other sources like PDF, ePUB, LIT, or other formats you likely want to read them on your Kindle. When you buy books on or from your Kindle they arrive neatly formatted and ready to rock on your Kindle. Format Non-Kindle Store Books for the Kindle

If you’d prefer to custom without the work of cropping and scaling your own images make sure to check out some of the online Kindle wallpaper depots like this Kindle wallpaper Tumblr and KindleScreensavers, as well as searching Google for Kindle-friendly images like so.

Jailbreaking your Kindle doesn’t give you quite the range of tools and abilities that jailbreaking an iPhone does but it’s still a pretty neat trick to really customize your Kindle to fit your personality.
