If you have an e-reader, you\u2019re probably not making the most of it. Maybe you have a PDF document and you don\u2019t know how to convert it into an eBook (the typical file format for an e-reader). <\/span><\/p>\n

Today at Softonic, we want to make your life a little easier. Here’s\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>how to convert a PDF into an eBook.<\/b><\/p>\n

Using an online service<\/b><\/h2>\n

You don’t have to download anything to convert your PDF. Conversions to ePub or other formats can be done using different websites. Do they make more mistakes than software installed on your PC? It\u2019s possible, but we\u2019ll also say it\u2019s the <\/span>best way when you\u2019re in a hurry<\/b> and don\u2019t want to research more.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a website, you won’t have many\u00a0<\/span>customization possibilities.<\/b> Also, you\u2019re exposed to servers that sometimes don\u2019t work. (But at least they’re simple.) There\u2019s one site we recommend above the rest: <\/span>To ePub<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to find a site as simple as this one. On the top, you\u2019ve got several tabs that show you the <\/span>input and output files<\/b>, though in this case, you shouldn\u2019t touch anything. The only thing you should select is if you want the output format to be ePub, MOBI, FB2, etc. Once you\u2019ve decided, click <\/span>\u201cUpload\u201d<\/b> (or drag the file) and it will start to load. When the process is finished, click on <\/span>\u201cDownload\u201d<\/b> and the file will download, but in the output format you\u2019ve chosen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using software<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you have an e-reader, get this name tattooed on your arm: <\/span>Calibre<\/b>. In our opinion, it’s the best digital book manager you can find. And yes, it\u2019s <\/span>completely free.<\/b><\/p>\n

Calibre is a kind of virtual library where you can bring together all the eBooks you own. No matter what extension or format,\u00a0<\/span>Calibre detects the info saved<\/b> in the metadata and adds it to its database, so you can keep your collection organized by name, author, genre and a long list of other options. Also (this is important for this article), <\/span>it has a file converter.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you click on \u201c<\/span>Convert<\/b>,\u201d you\u2019ll see a new tab with a wide variety of fields. For example, you can <\/span>choose the input and output formats<\/b>, but the most important thing is that you can fill in the metadata you need, the appearance, the page settings (so you can read it better) and even add or modify indexes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our advice is that you try all the options available and <\/span>simply click \u201cAccept\u201d when you\u2019re ready. <\/b>Easy, right?<\/span><\/p>\n
