I need to replace my Kindle.<\/p>\n
It’s a first generation Kindle Fire which my husband bought for me for my birthday several years ago. I love it. I never thought I would like a Kindle, but I used my Fire all the time to read, watch Netflix, and even play the occasional stupid game. I even loaded PDFs for school onto it so I could do my readings on my lunch break without having to lug around a bunch of printed out PDFs.<\/p>\n

After talking with Mistress Una the other night, I got the idea that it was probably possible to convert PDFs to EPUB, which is a much friendly format for e-readers. This would mean that you could read your journal articles and other PDFs (like the free MOMA books<\/a>) in comfort wherever you read other things on your preferred e-reading device.<\/p>\n A quick Google search turned up a Digital Trends article, How to Convert a PDF file to EPUB<\/a>, which offers a few different options. I played around with ePUBator<\/a> on my phone, but if there is a way to tell it where to save the converted file for easy retrieval, I haven’t figured it out yet. I’ve used Calibre<\/a> for other e-book management features, so I’ve got that flagged as the next one to try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I need to replace my Kindle.
