~Amanda~ Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 you can put a pdf document on your kindle. is that what you're asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morosophe Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I don't know how useful your son's kindle will be for daily scheduling. It's not like he can just check things off. For other things, the best utility I have found is Calibre. It easily converts html and the e-book formats that Kindle doesn't have, and even tries its best with .pdfs. (I've been cleaning up the conversion of a .pdf e-book by correcting the .html format Calibre came up with.) Plus, it works just fine on my OS, even though I use Linux!

It wouldn't have even occurred to me to look into the html conversion or the Linux compatibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, Amazon will convert .html and .pdf for you; they just charge for the service, and I'm a cheapskate. :p Plus, I like having a little more control over the process.

Lizzie in Ma Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 You could easily use an app for it, I love StickyNotes There is Notepad too. That way he could actually check things off on his notes. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankcassiesmom Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Maybe it's the package I got but I get my pdfs, etc. converted through my kindle email for free. I don't get charged for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 On a mac you just go to "export" and you can export/save the file in other formats like pdf. That won't help him check it off unfortunately. I have no clue how to help you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankcassiesmom Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hmm now in kindle books you can "highlight". I wonder if you got it converted to a kindle document you'd be able to highlight it. That would show that he's done it. Sort of like he's checking it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
