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.
