Arxiv2Kindle

Arxiv2Kindle is a simple script written in python that converts LaTeX source downloaded from Arxiv and recompiles it to better fit a reading device (such as a Kindle).

Features

• Arxiv2Kindle can render images, diagrams, tables and formulae.
• It also converts 2-column formats into a single column for ease of reading.
• Arxiv2Kindle can mail the converted pdf file to your kindle (if you have a wifi-enabled Kindle).

Note:

• Arxiv2Kindle does not work on papers without the source.
• The fixed transformations applied on the source may not lead to a desired result in a few cases. Still, on most cases the results are readable.
