Oh, that's depressing. I see what you're saying, though, many of my PDF's have two columns, although not a lot of graphics. Before buying a Kindle I read all these sites talking about how great it was to read one's academic articles on them.

I went back to the original access to the journal article and cut and pasted HTML, then saved it as a Word DOC, converted to PDF, then had Calibre convert it to MOBI to send to my Kindle. This isn't ideal, though, for being able to discuss the articles in my classes and access the original page number of the PDF.

anyone else got any ideas, or is this the best that can be done?

Thanks...
