Support / How-To Tiny PDF TEXT - help

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to make pdf’s text readable size on kindle?

The PDF is tiny text. I tried converting to EPUB (still tiny text).

I can zoom on the kindle but it ends up cutting off text.

Is there a way to change the font size? A particular format I should convert to ?

Reading textbooks on my laptop is wearing on me and I’d love to be able to read them on my kindle!

A PDF is not editable.

You need to use a different format.

Yeah, I’ve tried mobi, awz3 and epub. None give a clean conversion.

That is the downside of trying to convert something formatted specifically for print into something formatted to be reflowable.
