The first step is the non-spreads PDF. If I haven't released that in a month please nudge me. Once you have that you should be able to mobi it up yourself immediately as there's no protection on these PDFs.

Sounds great! Thanks.

Thanks for being understanding!
May I ask what sort of kindle you'd be using this on? I have a paperwhite that I read every night but it can't handle heavy PDFs.

I have the Oasis. I was hoping that this pdf would convert to a mobi the same way comic files or manga can, to be more easily browsed than a pdf. PDF as you pointed out work terribly on kindle. This would be a great book to have with me everywhere.

I meant on my paperwhite ALL large files do badly, though I completely failed to say that. I'll put the mobi thing on my list--I've made 'em before but never for anything this weighty.

I think it might work better of the kindle thinks it’s a comic, where you can zoom in. My kindle oasis works fine with Walking Dead Compendiums, which are large files and large page comics.

I will try to convert the current pdf to CBR then convert that to mobi to get that pinch/zoom ability. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Oh thank you!

I tried as converted CBZ and MOBI both. MOBI ended up being a much smaller file and the pages turn easily on my kindle oasis.

That said, the conversion decided that every single graphical element in the pdf was a single page so you turn something like 20 pages before you get to the intro paragraph of the book, lol.

I think I’ll just wait for the hard copy, ha! Cheers!

Oh no!

I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't get Acrobat to flatten the PDF so I gave up and left it layered.
