DPT-S1: Calibre settings to convert Azw3 to pdf

bcbob · 08-01-2016, 04:21 PM

Some of my Kindle books have forms to fill in so I converted to pdf so I can read them on the DPT-S1.

See this thread in the Calibre|Convert forum:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=3363161

I repeat the settings on the Calibre convert dialog box here:

Pretty decent. Some weird pagination but definitely usable with about 11-12 point font on the screen.

One of the biggest errors of Sony is that they accepted only PDFs. Corporate users, the targetting segment, normally use further formats beside PDF.

These customers have no time, no mood and no willingness to crack it, they would vote with their purse. I believe the normal Joes have bought more than enterprises. AFAIK, enterprises were under the pressure of iPad owners, which is more flexible in this regard.
