I’m just wondering if SCM books will be available ever in Kindle format? (Of course, I have NO idea what that requires!) I do know though that Kindle format books are easier to read on the Kindle than PDFs. Sometimes, a PDF will convert…mostly…to kindle format if you email it to your kindle and type “convert” in the subject line. However, sometimes the conversion doesn’t quite work. For example, I thought I have correctly converted “Outdoor Secrets”, but when I started clicking through the pages, only the graphics were there. I was able to put Outdoor Secrets on my Kindle in a PDF form, but then of course the print is pretty teeny-tiny.
However, the Stories of America and Stories of the Nations, as well as a few “Famous Men” books from Greenleaf all converted pretty well. (Occasionally there is a line-shift that is kind of wonky, or some of the chapter titles are linked but others aren’t). Overall, the converted PDF is much better than a non-converted PDF, but still not a smooth for reading as a “real” Kindle edition book.
Anyway, just wondering if this might be something in the works. I notice that the Yesterdays Classics company now offers all their books as Kindle editions, and that is very exciting.
I know one of their recent books was put in Kindle (and ePub I think) format…
I think the main problem is a lot of their pdf books have things like tables, and sidebars, etc… that just don’t convert or translate well to Kindle format.
The SCM books I have, I rotate the font on the Kindle… still a bit small but readable for me…
Of course, I’m not sure what the folks here at SCM may do… lol.
Our free Getting Started in Homeschooling book is the only one we specifically offer in Kindle (and ePub for iPad and others) format at this time. The rest are all in PDF format, which can be loaded on a Kindle and work pretty well. But we know it isn’t quite as nice as native Kindle formatted books.
I just realized that I posted the wrong book as being available in Kindle and ePub format. Getting started is only available as a PDF. It’s our free A Thinking Love book that is available in all the formats.
Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.
