You might want to check out a program called Calibre. It is for ebook collections, and will do many different types of format changes. There is a spot where you can choose your specific device and format criteria.
You may have options included with that program that may help. I have had good luck converting word docs and CHM files before, the only PDF's I have converted were basic text, but had good luck with those.

Thanks for that offer, David. But I've made my decision and I don't regret it. What I'm looking for is a way to convert IBM manuals to MOBI format. If I don't succeed, I can live with the current PDF support. I don't use the Kindle when I need to lookup information in a look-at way, e.g. what exactly does this parameter do or what is the explanation of this abend code. I'll be sitting in fromt of my PC when this kind of question arised. So I'll have all the nice things as Acrobat and Internet to quickly look up. I'm using the Kindle when I want to learn by reading complete chapters from start to end. It is only a bit messy to get to the start of the chapter. Thereafter reading is fun. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
