To help you read pdf on kindle more smoothly, I will share some tips on how to read pdf on kindle.

Before I introduce the ultimate solution, let’s first take a quick glance at some frequent problems we may encounter during the process of reading pdf files on kindle. This may help you get a better understanding. If you don’t want to know this part, you can go straight to the final answer How to Read PDFs on Kindle .

Read PDF on Kindle Issues: At a Glance

Problem 1. Some PDF Documents Don’t Look as Good

PDF is a file format that has captured all the elements of a printed document that you can view, navigate, print, or share with someone else without losing the original quality.

Just with this feature, reading a PDF on Kindle is not comfortable though Kindle does support PDF format. You cannot adjust the font size of the PDF document in a Kindle. Here I would like to take my Kindle Paperwhite as an example.

I connect my Kindle PaperWhite to computer, find the Kindle drive, then copy pdf documents from my computer to the “Documents” folder.

Then open the pdf document on my Kindle. You will find that not all PDFs can display properly. Most of PDF files are adapted to the print page size, but the screen of my kindle Paperwhite is much smaller. The pdf file’s font is too small to view, especially for the images. Here I add a PDF file to my Kindle and just find the font size is too small to read.

See? Though kindle devives support reading personal pdf documents, the reading experience is too bad.

Problem 2. Some PDF eBooks Cannot be Opened Because of DRM protection

The fact that Kindle devices only natively support ebooks purchased from Amazon Kindle store. So for PDF eBooks purchased from other ebook store like Kobo and Google Play, kindle devices can’t open them because of the DRM protection. When you try to open a DRM-protected PDF ebook on your Kindle, you will see such a notice.
