Wishes from an android user

The issue
I have started using my android phone for reading and thought I might try to use it to read the first module of the Zeitgeist adventure path. It didn't exactly work out well...

My android phone is limited to 800x480 resolution on a 3.7" dispaly, so text-reflow is necessary. This could have worked out fine if you could turn off all the fancy stuff in the pdf readers for android, but really, they are quite lacking.

My wish
My wish is for a PDF that (or basically any other format) without borders, fancy fonts or anything like that. The simpler the layout, the better most likely.

Why?
Why do I want to read a module on my phone you might ask? Well, it's quite convenient to bring along. This way I can read on the train, during lunch, etc.

Hey, don't blame this on the android, sounds like you got one of the cheap ones. Go the market and download ezpdf reader. One of the best around and will allow you a better user experience, though you may need to upgrade your phone in general.

Or get a kindle account and use their online service that converts pdf to kindle format......

I've found that for most PDFs, opening it with the Nook app renders it like a book. (assuming we're not talking about scanned image pdfs)

I don't bother using a pdf app on my 7" tablet or Nook Touch anymore - I just use the Nook app and all's right with the world.

Gonna try the kindle-approach.

I do wonder if any of you have tried reading the pdf in mention on your android btw.

Have anybody tried using the Kindle converter to convert the APs? My experiences with converting pdfs to ebooks haven't been stellar, but I mostly use Calibre.

It might just be me, but how to actually convert pdfs with kindle is not exactly straight forward...

Unless it's changed, you email a specific address at amazon with an attachment of the file you wanted converted; and an automatic system will email the converted file back.
