The Kindle is amazing but a lot of research articles and different things that I need to be able to read, are only available in PDF Format. Kevin found the fix, The Adobe PDF converter. You simply upload your PDF and it converts it to Word or Excel then, you save it again. The Kindle will then read it perfectly. You lose any graphics but you can keep the PDF format to follow along with. This is extremely helpful for anyone with low vision. This would be very useful for a teacher who is working with a low vision or blind student. Many people are dealing with disabilities other than low vision that may run into this same software issue when using screen readers such as ZOOM, JAWS, or MAGIC. In the time it took me to write this (about 5 minutes), I have converted 3 PDF research articles that are about 30 pages each to Word format and saved them onto my Kindle. I am impressed with how fast the process is and that you don’t have the spelling and character recognition issues that come along with many of the OCR (Optical character recognition) programs we have paid much more for.
