Got it buddy, am having trouble with it still though, perhaps its because its in a little different
format than the first one. Not being able to read chinese too is a problem.
Would you mind sending me a couple more samples to my email address?
That way ill have more files available for me to work on.
Just Chinese ones, will do or even Japanese, Korean ones if you read them.

Zad,
Using the files youve sent, Ive converted them on my machine and displayed them in the Kindle.
Just like PDF's they cant be rearranged, it looks a little funny but im guessing its because I dont have Chinese fonts installed
in my computer, hence when they are being displayed, it will look as how it will look on my machine.
These are .chm files converted to .mobi files.

I'm worried about the size of Kindle. I thought it was just slightly bigger than a phone and I could just slip it in and out of my pocket whenever I feel like it but it turned out to be bigger than I thought. So my next question is to all the Kindlers out there:

How do you bring your Kindle about as so not to lose it or to be an easy target for snatch thieves?

Also a few doubts to clear my head:
1.) Can you jump pages in Kindle?
2.) Can you bookmark a page in Kindle? If so, only one at a time or several?
3.) Can you read manga's or marvel comics in Kindle?

Youve got urm..very interesting questions. whistling.gif
So right, this 'Kindler' will help you out.

Lets first look at your worry. Remember, the Kindle is an ebook reader, hence for it to be one,
it should mimic and make the experience similar to that of a book. Not a lot of books will be 'a little bigger'
than a phone though and even if there's one, itll make reading that book, with its tiny font, to be maybe a little too much for the eyes.

How to not lose the Kindle and not make it an easy snatch theft target?
It would be the same care really that you would do to take care of your phone and your wallet, even your laptop.
You wouldnt want to be walking while reading now would you.
Who knows what other dangers would be out there other than just being a target for snatch thiefs.

That said though, it DOES fit into your back pocket smile.gif

That's a picture of the Kindle without the Official Amazon cover into my back pocket.
It also fits into my front pocket. Its small and slim enough to be very tough but very light at the same time.
Notice the picture on the Kindle.

This now would be the various ways I would use to keep my Kindle safe.
The brown bag is mine, for my Kindle. The red is the wife's handbag.
If the bag goes missing, so will my Ipad, wallet, phone and various other stuff inside.
If my wife's bag goes missing, well...who in the world knows what's in a ladies handbag anyway smile.gif

To your other queries :
1.) Can you jump pages in Kindle?
Yes you can, easily with the buttons on the left and right as well as directing the Kindle to jump 10 to even 300 pages ahead.
Or any page for that matter.

2.) Can you bookmark a page in Kindle? If so, only one at a time or several?
You can bookmark it as many times to your hearts content.

3.) Can you read manga's or marvel comics in Kindle?
Finally, that picture says it all, its not Manga and not Marvel,
but hey its Superman, from DC Comics smile.gif

Hope those helped! smile.gif

How come after I converted a pdf file to mobi, the mobi file looks exactly the same as pdf? Font size cannot be changed or zoom.

Overall very happy with the Kindle. Won't have to bring so ever many books with me when travelling. Save space in luggage for shopping. He he!

This happening to a lot of your books Fluene ?
Could you perhaps send me the sample PDF file youve used to convert it (source file)
as well as the resulting .mobi file ? I wanna try it out too smile.gif

The saving space part is a real REAL plus, the battery lasts super long,
so I survive a lot of shopping trips with the wife too haha smile.gif

Another problem. When I copy and paste the mobi files from pc to the kindle, the kindle displays the first sentence of the book as its title instead of the name of the book. Why is this so and how can I make it display the name instead?

You can use Calibre to make some changes and transfer that file back into your Kindle.

It is the same with Calibre. Once I added them in Calibre, the name of the books will be gone. I had a hard time trying to figure out which is which

fluene,
How about trying Stanza ? Am not sure if it will work for you though
for both your problems above, but in this FAQ it shows how to edit titles.
It may work for you too nod.gif

Did you try changing the "Title" after you add the book in Calibre?
You have to change the title first and only then transfer the book on your Kindle.
However, before that, make sure that you have deleted the book that you previously added on the device first or else, I don't think it will work.
