Just right-click on the document title on the Home screen of your Kindle and choose to add the document to a Collection and choose a suitable one (or a few).<br /><br /> OR open the Collection and mark each file on the home screen that belongs in it for Adding.<br /><br /> PDFs are directly readable without conversion.<br /><br /> ALSO, with PDFs, choose Landscape mode to read textbook type documents. That's by pressing the Aa key and choosing Rotate at the bottom.<br /><br /> Otherwise, for conversion from PDF to mobi, it's probably better to do those with Mobiformat Creator, which is free, and what Amazon uses (as they own it).<br /><br /> Hope that helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-34149271489217916342011-07-22T17:06:08.300-07:002011-07-22T17:06:08.300-07:00I'm not sure if this has been covered, but I&#...I'm not sure if this has been covered, but I'm looking to read lots of articles for graduate school on my Kindle 2. They're generally PDFs which often transfer into .mobi files poorly through Calibre. Once on the kindle, rather than have to individually move the files into a folder (say: "Healthcare mngmt 101"), I'd like to email the files DIRECTLY into said folder. Is this at all possible?

Some Kindle owners already have over a thousand books on their Kindles - gathering in advance as some do, especially since they're free.<br /><br /> So if you're about to visit a country, like Italy, and you want to be able to browse just books on Italy, you might want a 'folder' on "Italy" so you could find all the ones you have quickly and not have to see the others.<br /><br /> The tag "xitaly" applied to books on that country means you could search for "xitaly" <br />or "qitaly" or whatever prefix you'd use (but best to keep it simple, with that keyboard) and get only the books on 'xitaly' to show up on the screen as results for your search. <br /><br /> If you don't us a prefix, you'll find all the books on your Kindle that just -mention- Italy in passing, which wouldn't be good.<br /><br /> Hope that helps a bit.<br /><br /> - AndrysAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-18825448179124722022009-09-27T11:48:42.607-07:002009-09-27T11:48:42.607-07:00So, what would be the most common tags that would ...So, what would be the most common tags that would help?<br /><br />I'm trying to figure out why I would need them...ran6110http://www.brb2010.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-31029237510195076142009-07-01T19:44:38.375-07:002009-07-01T19:44:38.375-07:00LOL!
