I’ll check them out!

That does sound temping!

That’s cool! Yea I’ve looked at the Kobo devices. I think for me, the lower cost of the kindle, especially with the ad supported version (which I bypassed by literally never connecting it to Wi-Fi), was a big plus for me at the time. I assume Amazon subsidized some of the cost assuming you’d buy from their store. I just sideloaded all my ebooks of course.

When it dies I’ll definitely be looking for a new option.

Suggestions? I still have an early gen kindle (that was ad supported), and I jailbroke it and have been pretty happy with it ever since.

I’ve done It before. It’s just highly dependent on the PDF. What software made the pdf? What format was it in prior to being a PDF? Is it a scanned image of text? Or does it have actual text.

Another option, that might work better, might not, though it would be more work, is use something like Microsoft Word first. Word can open a PDF and “convert” it to Word format. After that, you spend a lot of time fixing all the formatting which will probably be fucked up.

And then, once you have a nice clean Word doc, convert that to epub.
