Is there a way to convert PDFs to Kindle format though ? I'd love to have research papers on kindle.

Calibre handles this very well. Plug in kindle > open calibre > go to device settings and uncheck pdf support > add books and calibre automatically converts to .mobi

Just email your PDF to your kindle email address with “convert” as the subject line.

This works, but subject is not needed, just approved From: address.

Maybe I misread the link I shared. Can you clarify:

> PDFs can be converted to the Kindle format so you can take advantage of functionality such as variable font size, annotations, and Whispersync. To have a document converted to Kindle format (.azw), the subject line should be "convert" when e-mailing a personal document to your Send-to-Kindle address.

I read PDFs on Kindle all the time. You don't need to convert anything.

You just need to put it in landscape mode, instead of portrait, to make it readable.

I use K2pdfopt to convert scientific articles to a format (mostly) readable on my Kindle.
