Ebook Readers

PDF style ebooks work great on computers, ebook readers and tablets

We chose to provide our books in PDF format because of its simplicity and superior readability on computers, ebook readers (such as Kindle and NOOK) and tablets (iPad, Android, Windows) as well as all computers.

The only time a PDF book is not the best format is when the device screen size is tiny, as it is on phones.

PDF's are generally preferable to dedicated ebook formats because you can experience the books arranged exactly as the author intended. And, on color devices, they can be seen in glorious full color, often at a higher resolution.

When reading with a PDF reader, such as Adobe Reader, Adobe Digital Editions and others, the content is fully searchable.

Most of us read PDF documents in our computers and tablets almost every day. We tend to forget that they are also easily loadable and perfectly readable in our dedicated ebook readers, as well.

PDF Benefits:

Totally portable between devices
Work perfectly on virtually all devices
No locks or restrictions, other than copyright (cannot be given away or sold)
Unlimited use on your own devices
Searchable content
Easily loaded into all platforms

Computers and tablets, including iPad can download a PDF file automatically and read it directly. Your ebook reader probably will require you to first download the PDF into your computer and transfer it to your ebook reader. While you should refer to your documentation to learn how to transfer PDF books into your particular ebook reader, the methods for the Kindle Paperwhite and the NOOK Simple Touch are described below.

PDF formated ebooks are directly readable on Kindle readers. In fact, they generally look great. The PDF format text is not "flowable," so you see the pages from the book, exactly as the author laid them out; you will love it. This is excellent for readers of the Kindle size, but on phones, the print becomes tiny.

Transfer Files to Kindle with USB Cable

It is easy to move content (files or ebooks) from your computer to your Kindle using a USB cable. The USB cable that came with your Kindle will work fine.

To begin, use the USB cable to connect your Kindle to your computer.

Note: This is the procedure for the Kindle Paperwhite. The procedure may vary slightly for other Kindle models.

Windows: Your file manager will open and your Kindle will appear in the Computer or My Computer folder.
Mac: Your Kindle will appear on the desktop.

Procedure

Open the Kindle folder and a folder named "Documents" will appear. You can drag and drop files from your computer into that folder.
On your computer, locate the file that you want to transfer to your Kindle.
You can drag and drop that file into the documents folder in the Kindle folder.
Safely eject your Kindle from your computer.
Make sure you are in the On Device mode to view your downloaded file.
You may have to do a Search to find the file, as it may not appear in your content list.

Compatible Files

Some file types compatible with your Kindle are:

PDF Directly readable and they generally look terrific.
MOBI Amazon's proprietary file, so they work fine.
TXT No problem.

Refer to your documentation for additional file types that may be compatible with your particular Kindle model.

PDF formated ebooks are directly readable on NOOK devices. Depending on their original setup, the PDF formatted text may or may not be "flowable." You may have to set the text size on your NOOK to one of the two smallest sizes to see the pages from the book exactly as the author laid them out. Otherwise, set the text to a larger size and the text may flow, but the formatting may become strange; it's your choice.

Transfer Files to NOOK with USB Cable
