OverDrive's PDF Conversion

Getting the PDF to ePub Conversion Right: OverDrive’s New Goal for the Cell Phone Era

David Rothman | August 19, 2015

Hate e-books? If you’re an academic, it’s easy to back up your biases. You just inflict PDF on subjects in P vs. E experiments. PDF  generally offers less control than ePub over such trivial details as font size, at least if you want lines to break in the right places. I hate PDF for, say, recreational reading on mobile devices. PDF can be scary enough for academic reading on desktops.
