E-Books Converter

Many of us like to collect e-books. Most of them are in PDF format. But if you are the person who like to read the e-books on other devices like, iphone, android phones, tablets, nokia phones etc, then you might want to convert the books to a format that is friendly with the form factor (screen dimensions) of the device.

There is one excellent software, I recommend highly, called calibre.

So what to do now?

a. download the software from here.

b. Install and run it.

c. Select a PDF. Convert it to epub format. Use iTunes, and bring the epub to iphone, and read it there.

A good place to start is with the hundreds of manuals in PDF format that we read everyday.
