PDF on Kindle

Reading PDF documents on Kindle can be a drag, because the text is often too small. But a clever reader found this tip on Amazon:

If you prefer to have your personal PDF documents converted to the Kindle format so you can take advantage of Kindle functionality such as variable font size, annotation, Text-to-Speech, etc., type "Convert" in the subject of the e-mail when you submit your personal document to your "name"@free.kindle.com address.


This makes a big number of PDF files much more readable!


Unfortunately the file only appears on the Kindle device itself, you can't read it in the Kindle app on other devices, at least not the iPad.
