I have a growing library of survival related PDF documents and I’m wondering how well the E-readers work with these. I’m specifically looking at the Kindle Touch but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
TIA |

A certain Arfcommer (ahem, Dace) hooked me up with a flash drive with an absolute shitload of survival PDFs on as part of my SF Christmas present last year. I don't have it with me to check the storage capacity, but I put a plethora of them on my kindle fire and it reads them just fine.
Thanks again for the hookup, Dace. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

For Kindle Touch you just convert the pdfs to .mobi using a free tool called Calibre. Kindle touch has 4 GB of storage, so be mindful of how much you want to put on there. Speed Beware this. Many PDFs are scanned which makes for a very large converted file. I've easily seen files grow hundreds or thousands of times their original size trying to convert them. |

i started a thread a few years ago that should still be active, its a survival pdf's thread..
i had a kindle with a keyboard... i sure loved it.... until i totally broke the screen by apparently putting minimal pressure on it on accident. so now i have another kindle, because i like to read books on them... but id go for an iPod/iPhone/iPad. much more durable |

PDF's work fine... but you better have good eyes if the text started out small.
I have a lot on my kindle... but it's reference material only. I have actually had bad luck with conversions, but I think that's mainly because a lot of what I've tried to convert has 2 columns, and most conversion software can't figure that out. Oh well. |
