PDF → Kobo
A Kobo opens a PDF as fixed pages. Converted to EPUB, the same book reflows to your font and size, with its chapters in the table of contents.
Only upload books you own or have the right to convert.
On a Kobo, a PDF keeps its printed page: you pinch to zoom and pan across every line, and the font settings don't apply. A scanned PDF has no text to search or highlight.
EPUB is the Kobo's own format. The text reflows to the screen, the font and margins are yours to choose, and the table of contents, highlights and dictionary all work.
It reads scanned pages with OCR, removes running heads and page numbers, joins paragraphs across pages and rebuilds the chapters.
Italics, small caps, scene breaks and footnotes come through as part of the text, and drawings as images with their captions, not as pictures of whole pages.
Upload the PDF here and read the free preview of the first 8 pages.
Buy the full EPUB once and download it.
Connect your Kobo to a computer with a USB cable and copy the EPUB onto it, or use Dropbox on a Kobo that supports it. Eject, and the book is in your library.
The preview of the first 8 pages is free. The full EPUB is a one-time purchase.
