How to convert Kindle books into PDF format?

I'm new to digital books and I use the Kindle app for Windows to read the books I bought but I hate how I can't read the bottom paragraph of a book in the Kindle app in the centre of the monitor; I have to bend my neck down and it gets sore fast. Problem is that I can't move the Kindle book page up or halfway as when I'm reading a PDF document; if you try to move the page in Kindle it skips to the next new page. So, I thought maybe converting my books to PDF will solve the problem.

How do I convert Kindle books into the PDF format?

Does anyone have another solution? Perhaps a fancier reader that allows me to scroll Kindle book pages?

Try calibre? I don't have a kindle, so I've never tried what you're asking for myself, YMMV.


The very hackish solution: resize the Kindle application window.


As far as I am ware there are at least two pieces of software that you require to accommodate your needs and should be used in conjunction with reference to the two articles whose weblinks are provided:

The first is called Briss which is a visual PDF Cropping Tool.

The second is called K2PDFopt which converts complex PDFs into Kindle friendly ones.

There are two articles published in Freeware Genius for you to read concerning optimising PDFs for reading on a kindle, both articles are written by the same author - Samer Kurdi

The first entitled Optimize PDF’s for reading on your Kindle 3: crop then (optionally) convert to AZW

The second entitled How to read PDFs on the Kindle (or smartphone, or any small-screen device) – revisited
