If you like to read Adobe PDF ebooks, Word Documents or text files on your iPod, cell phone or any other portable device that supports pictures, here’s an extremely useful utility.

read-pdf-ipod

Called eBook to Images, this 500kb tool extracts the text out of your PDFs, then converts that text into multiple images that very readable on the small screen.

You can change the text orientation, fonts and the colors to suit your reading style. The software also lets you specify the screen size of your portable device and generates images of the same dimensions.

The other option for reading PDFs on iPod is via the iPod Notes Reader that makes small 4kb text files of your documents and links them together.

Download “eBook to Images” at MerlinSoftware.com.

You could also consider use this tool for reading PDFs on your Sony Reader or Amazon Kindle as both support images. Or save Webpages and Outlook email messages as text and take them with you anywhere. Thanks Samer.

Converting to images will take quite a large space depending on the size of the book and space is a premium ina mobile device.

Mobipocket, a freeware with a host of features owned by Amazon, can be used to covert PDFs, *.doc into a format that can be read using a Mobipocket application on your mobile.

Ed: Arun - the ebook to image converter lets you modify all the settings and so the image sizes is actually very reasonable.

Thanks for this. I am using it now to read e-books on my Zune.

But it doesn’t support word docs directly.
