Question

Can I change the type size of PDFs exported to Kindle?

Community Answer

No. A PDF is an external source file. You can only zoom in or out on the PDF file. However, if you use the 'send to Kindle' option from your registered email ID, you then can change the font size of your converted PDF file in AZW format.

Question

How can I transfer a 55MB how-to guide to the Kindle app?

Mr c

Top Answerer

To transfer a 55MB how-to guide to the Kindle app, you can email it to your Kindle address with "Convert" in the subject line, transfer it via USB by connecting your Kindle to a computer and dragging the file to the "Documents" folder, or upload it to a cloud service and use the "Open With" option to open it in the Kindle app.
