A practical guide for reading pdf on kindle and other e-ink devices
Hi friends
I have written a illustrated and practical guide for reading different kinds of pdfs on ereaders. I have used existing software like Briss, K2pdfopt, ScanTailor Advanced and ....
By understanding this guide you can read almost all kinds of pdfs on your e-ink reader. You will also get a close-to-print reading experience.
This guide is freely available at my blog:

Your feedback is welcomed.

A practical guide is don't use PDF unless the eInk device is 10.3" or larger.

One problem is that we have to download the guide instead of being able to read it on your site. Sure an option to download is good. But it should not be mandatory.

Large e-ink devices are not available for everyone and don't have portability and small weight of 6" readers.

You're right, but if I wanted to write on a blog, I would have to post several posts and I didn't want people to have trouble reading the entire tutorial.

Most PDF are useless with a 6" screen. That's why I said you really need a large eInk screen for PDF to be of any use.

If your goal is only reading and not note taking and anything else, this guide helps you read even A4-sized pdfs on 6" devices.

I'll do that in a few days.
I live in a rural area and my internet connection is not fast and stable.
