HappyGrace Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I want to put Modern Spelling and a couple other free books onto my Kindle. (I don't have a laptop and I need to be able to read these books in my schoolroom or wherever.) Can this be done, and if so, how? THANK YOU!

Amy Jo Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I have an eReader and run Linux, so I might be no help, but you should be able to convert them. I use Calibre to convert file formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I downloaded it from Google books as a PDF and transferred it to my Kindle via the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKidAcademy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I've done that with a few documents, but I don't like the way the print is so small on the Kindle. I'm going to try to convert via Calibre. I have it downloaded; just haven't used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks-I read some old threads while waiting for answers to this one and realized people have asked this before. I found the info about Calibre and did that and it worked but took a long time to download and plus now on my Kindle every other page is blank and says "Digitalized by Google" on it-very annoying (I think this was from Google, not Calibre.) One good thing-Calibre had a good tutorial -I STINK with computers and was able to figure it out!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The Modern Speller looks fine as a PDF on Kindle. There isn't much print on each page. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Here is a pic of it on mine. Regular sized Kindle screen. Typically bad iPad2 cam photo: http://pbckt.com/pJ.UGraVk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Thanks, SCGS! I did in in Calibre and you're right, it looks great. How did you get yours to not have the blank page that says "Digitized by Google" on every other page? Or does yours have that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 No. Only a little thing in the bottom right corner of each page as in pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
