Can You Upload a PDF To Kindle?

6 replies
Can you upload any doc or pdf to Amazon as a Kindle download :confused:

I am confused as to why some people pay for a service to put an ebook into Kindle format and do not know what this means and what the difference is with each format.

Any feedback appreciated so I know how to start this

    There is a really good free software program called calibre that you can use to convert your books so they will work on Kindle. You can find it at calibre-ebook.com. It is awesome and works a charm for me.

    I have a kindle and you can read PDF's on it. You just have to read them in landscape otherwise it's a pain in the ass.

    They used to accept PDF's while i was selling on there. Go over to Mobipocket's site and download their PDF/DOC converter. It will turn your ebook into a Kindle accepted form immediately. Free too.

    You can upload a PDF, but usually it will kill your table of contents and cover if a reader clicks on the TOC button on the Kindle Reader.

    For short books PDF is fine.

    For fiction books PDF is fine.

    For non-fiction/reference books where they need to keep referring back to the table of contents I would steer away from PDF.
