    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Not that long ago, a friend sent me a preview of a book that she was about to have published and asked me to read it.

    And since I usually read books and other documents using my phone, I knew already that this was a recipe for eyestrain.

    I spent a frustrating three days squinting at my screen until somebody reminded me that you can email a PDF to your Amazon account in a way that will convert the file so that it is formatted for easy reading on a Kindle or the Kindle app.

    First, you have to establish two points of information: you need your special Kindle email address (to which you’ll be sending the file), and you need to make sure the personal email address from which you’ll be sending the file is verified by Amazon.

    It may take a couple of minutes for the file to appear on your Kindle or Kindle-enabled device, but soon, you should have a Kindle version of your PDF that you can bookmark, annotate, and change the typeface and type size of, etc.

    Even with the glitches that will inevitably appear (most conversions are not perfect), you will end up with a far more readable document.
