New eBook (Rise of the Ring) and calibre conversion

Recommended Posts

A new EverQuest Next eBook was posted last week on the official site. You can find the link below. If anyone wants to read these PDF's on your amazon kindle (or other device) google a program called "calibre".

When converting leave the defaults the same, except change output to your eBook device (Kindle White here) and make sure you have Heuristic Processing turned on! Otherwise you get extra line breaks and weird word wrapping. You may need to tweak it based on your device. Some artifacts will stay (like page numbers or page titles), but it's much easier than reading the tiny pdf print depending on your eBook reader.

"Heuristic Processing provides a variety of functions which can be used to try and detect and correct common problems in poorly formatted input documents. Use these functions if your input document suffers from poor formatting. Because these functions rely on common patterns, be aware that in some cases an option may lead to worse results, so use with care. As an example, several of these options will remove all non-breaking-space entities, or may include false positive matches relating to the function."

If anyone has a kindle white and would like the .mobi books, let me know on the forums and I'll send them over.
