Hi Guys , I don't know is that the suitable forum for that thread or not "Hoping yes"
Actually i am using Calibre on pc in order to convert pdf to .mobi in order to let it work in kindle android app but actually i have a pdf that consists of images only so in order to convert them to ebook i extract the images from them and make the .mobi ebook but becuase the image wan't have the same width or resolution , the book became terrible >>>>>>> so any one has ideas about how to resize the images with our LG 4x HD phones in the way it make good ? or other any way to make the ebook fit to our phone ?
Why dont you extract those pictures from your pdf, place them in one seperated folder, copy that folder to your internal memory or sd card, open up your gallery and voila - your ebook should be in a seperated folder, you can open them via the gallery app, zoom in/zoom out...and even convert them in any format that you want via any picture editor...
I hope that may help you

I checked the nook site, and it does not show support for .mobi files. The majority of my ebook collection is already in that format, and I would hate to have to convert each and every book over to epub, etc.
Does the Nook Color support .mobi files, rooted or not? I did read that someone was able to get the Kindle reader app on the NC, which reads the .mobi files, so I happy with that, but I just want to make sure before I make the purchase.
Thanks! and Happy Holidays!

The NC supports epub ... a rooted NC can install the Kindle app so that would be a route .. a better route might be to use Calibre (free DL) .. this PC app can convert mobi files to epub and can do so in bulk so you needn't do them one by one .. also the Calibre software (runs on your PC) can connect and send files to the NC, so pretty handy.

True, I use Calibre for my EVO to convert books, but I was hoping to avoid even a bulk conversion, only due to the sheer number of books to do so.
I'm not afraid of rooting it, so that may be the best way to go, and this way I can whispersync with my desktop (in theory)
I know its silly but does the kindle app on the nook color only take .mobi formats
Also were do you put book files you already have dont see an import button on the app. DO i Just place them in the folder and they will show in the app.. Thanks in advance sorry for being a noob
yes mobi and the other format I'm blanking on... pcs?!?
You drop them in the Kindle folder on the SD card.
So far its my primary reading app for the ability to change the backdrop to sepia
and alter the font sizes. It is a bit of a pain having to convert everything into Mobi format, having to deal with calibers sometimes wacky formatting issues (Although I just got Pocket Mobi Converter to try for conversions).
The only issues I have with it is the android app has problems with showing covers, and they really need to set it up to have 'shelves' within the program and directory, its a mess just dropping 50 or so books into one folder and having to slide through them all within the kindle app itself sometimes.

If anyone figures out a way to get covers for side-loaded books to show in the Kindle app, please let me know!
I got it to work once, and it was a royal pain in the but. basically I coped my entire Kindle folder off the NC to my hard drive, went through each mobi file in Caliber and hand set each cover to a jpeg, re-saved the mobi file, then dropped all the files back on the NC, and it worked (well it was actually maybe 75%, some still refused to show covers). Each jpeg was named the same as the mobi file just with the jpg extension.

when using pdf it doesn't scale correctly is there a better format to convert in so I can keep my images? epub (not a good choice)
Are you running as root? If so, download a different PDF reader as the stock one is quite horrible in my opinion. ezPDF seems to work well, as does the Adobe reader from the market.
I actually use the two that Riley mentioned. Adobe Reader's great for those big jpeg pdfs, it's quite fast. I prefer ezPDF's interface so I use it for smaller pdfs since it's not as fast..
Don't use the stock reader, it's really crappy.

Do you want to convert or just view ... as others in the thread say, for viewing use one of the viewers from the market .. for conversion you can use Calibre but if you convert to a format other than ePub then you need a viewer (reader) for that format .. i have found it best to keep .pdf's in that format but use a different viewer. Cheers.
thanks again guys
I guess either or on convert or view but when I convert to epub in calibre I lose alot of pictures and such, I am just looking to view. I thank you all just now getting back around to playing with it Saturdays are crazy with kids sports. But I guess in order to run anything on android part I have to put it on sd card so I will be doing that and looking for the readers you guys suggested .... Wow the Adobe PDF is just beautiful on this little guy may look into ezpdf soon.
You could use VuDriod as a pdf viewer. It works well for a free app. You scroll vertical and the rendering isn't to slow.
I want to install a pdf reading app from the market to read pdfs. But I'm not sure where to put them on the nook so that the pdf program will see them. It's not seeing the ones that I'm able to read with the nook UI. Anyone have any ideas? Where does one put documents one wants to read on the rooted portion?
I have placed my pdf docs on either the internal document directory or the external document directory. My pdf application has been able to see and read them in both locations.

Sorry, I'm talking about a rooted nook. Should have mentioned that.
Rooted Nook will see docks incl. pdfs in either internal or external Documents folder.

Not in the adobe pdf app I just downloaded from the market. I'm trying to use a downloaded app because I don't like how basic the one on the nook is. But unfortunately the one I downloaded in the market doesn't read the pdfs I have internally on the nook.
Any ideas?

Move or copy the pdfs in the internal directory to the sdcard directory (Astro from market is good for this type of thing) .. BTW which app is that .. seems strange it won't navigate to the internal directory??
The app is the Adobe Reader app.
And there seems to be a partition that the app reads from on the sd card since rooting that won't hold very much data.
Does anyone know any apps that can open .mobi files? I have a bunch of ebooks but I'm not sure what app can open it
Thanks

MobiPocket Reader. Looks like it is right protected format so there is probably nothing that can read it.
See here: http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/MOBI
Amazon Kindle app will read MOBI files.
After you install Kindle app, just drop ebboks into the kindle folder that is created on your SDCARD. You may need to close and reopen Kindle to see the ebooks.

Perfect thanks
Calibre, a free program on the PC, can also convert a mobi file into just about anything you want, such as epub. Then you can read them in your ebook reader of choice.
To make it easy to then move them onto your Android phone, many popular reader apps (like my fave, Moon+ Reader) access your Calibre library directly if you are on the same wifi network, and Calibre has their own app for accessing your library from an Android device.
