My mom just received a Kindle Fire as a gift, the issue is that when she tried to download a PDF formated book from a site, it will not show up in her books. The file itself is not gone, we can go back on the web-viaKindle- and find it under "downloads"; the thing she is wondering is why we cannot see it in her books app area. Anyone have any ideas? I heard about something you have to download for a converter, however there has to be another way to go about this. Please answer soon.

hi, Tanya, I'm surprised that Kindle would have issues with rendering PDF's - they've been pretty good at it for a while now with e-Ink models. However, based on other latest developments around Kindle Fire I'm actually not that surprised. It looks like there's a lot of angry Fire first-adopters out there that are posting about returning their Kindles as soon as they can get them packed. What's confirmed at this time is that many Kindle Fire units have faulty Wi-Fi and people have a lot of issues connecting to internet according to many user reviews. Amazon's own web site has hundreds of reviews of Kindle Fire's new owners that gave it 1 or 2 star reviews because of choppy/laggy experience they got from this underpowered device. All pro reviewers on the web clearly voiced that Nook Tablet is a much better device with superior performance compared to Kindle Fire. Nook Tablet that had been getting rave pro reviews on the web and it is the best device in it's class. It's got Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, Angry Brids, etc., the best battery life, the best screen, double the RAM and space for apps/photoes/movies, microSD slot and a microphone for Skype (not on Kindle), physical volume controls on the side (not on Kindle), and much zippier performance during video playback and apps usage than choppy/laggy act of Kindle Fire according to many user and pro's reviews.

What site did she get it from? The kindle will read PDF files that don't have DRM. If there is DRM, that could be causing the problem. If there is no DRM on the file then Calibre will convert it to .mobi, which is the native format for the Kindle, but it should be able to read it without conversion. She might try contacting the site she got it from to find out if there is any DRM on the file.

Actually the kindle supports epub format better than pdf, u could try to download the free ebook management tool which named Calibre-Ebook to convert the pdf into epub and review again.

changing from .document to .pdf does no longer reproduction each and each ingredient as this is in a be conscious document. there are different Nemo PDF Converter available, some ought to stay removed from it yet won't stay removed from distinctive formatting. you ought to in basic terms attempt different converters. attempt this good and common to stick to converter
