(Here I’d like to honor the publisher Verso for their 90% off Christmas sale last year, as well as for selling DRM-free ebooks that identified me as the purchaser, but let me fully modify them for my own use!)Ģ) Tick the red Add Books icon (top left) to import your ebooks. Because it took me a while to develop my system, I’m sharing what I’ve learned with other academic / non-fiction reading people, below! How to Convert ePubs to an Attractive PDFġ) Download and install Calibre, a respected free application that will convert ebooks to and from many formats.ġ.5) Buy ebooks that are DRM-free, so you can annotate, highlight, print, and convert at will. Yet often I can only get ebooks in epub. This means I often need to save websites, Word docs, and epubs to PDF before I read them on my tablet.Īt first, I found it hard to get a “pretty” PDF from an epub file the default conversion in Calibre produced ugly results. I also want a visually appealing page, and a fixed layout. If I’m buying a book and taking notes, I want to save and read my notes right alongside the text and in the file later. I like the convenience of reading on a tablet, but I prefer annotating PDFs to reading in Kindle or epub. Feel free to move on if you’re here for other things!)
