The only problem is finding out how to copy a PDF from your computer to the Kindle. (And few things are more frustrating than having an e-Reader that doesn’t read your own documents!) Luckily, it only takes a few easy steps to move a PDF file from your PC or Mac to your Kindle.

If you have an older Kindle, you can still read the text from PDFs on your e-Reader — after you convert them. Amazon will do this for a small fee, or you can look for freeware utilities online.
