Kindles
« on: August 17, 2015, 09:36:24 AM »
I have a Kindle, and I am increasingly using it to display documents such as Board Agendas, Minutes, reports I am due to present, etc.  In order to load them from my PC/laptop, I have to save the (usually Word/Excel) originals as PDFs.  Once I transfer them, I notice that I end up with two documents on the Kindle; xyz.pdf and xyz.pdr.  Are they interdependent, or can I get rid of the pdf file once the pdr one is up and running?
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

I think the PDR file just contains things like bookmarks and annotations.  If you want to look at the text of the file, you need the PDF.

Thanks for that, jeremy.
