Up until recently, it didn’t seem to matter what app I was using on my phone, every time it was a large PDF document, I always had to scroll about every time I was viewing a page – I could never view the whole thing all at once.

If you find this annoying like I do, you might want to try downloading Amazon’s Kindle app off the Google Play store, as it also performs nicely as an excellent PDF viewer. It displays one page at a time, and in full view. You can zoom in if you want to. If you want to move to the next page, then just swipe to the right.

I want to make it clear that Amazon hasn’t asked me to do this, and I’m not paid to promote the app. This is simply a good method I found and I thought others would find it useful too. Below are step by step instructions on how to read the Wednesday Edition on your mobile device. The Kindle app is available for download on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices.

Please note that there are pros and cons when it comes to this approach: Although using the Kindle app gives the freedom to view full pages easily – the downside of this is that the hyperlinks will no longer work.

Instructions:

1. Download the Kindle app from the Google Playstore, or the app store which comes with your device. Check the image above to see the icon for the Kindle App to make sure you’re downloading the right thing.
2. Optional: Login with your Amazon account if you have one, or create an account. This isn’t an essential step but it does allow you to allow Kindle to access your folder where you store your PDF’s for ease of access, and to not lose your place when you decide to take a break.
3. Open the Wednesday Edition link from email into your browser, and download the file to your device.
4. Browse through the folders on your phone, and head to the downloads folder. If you have a Samsung phone like I do, then follow the following directions. If you don’t have a Samsung phone, it will probably be something similar.
   
   Home Screen (default screen on your phone) > Samsung > My Files > Downloads
   
5. If the folder you have your PDF’s in is a different location to the one you chose in Step 2, then they will appear when opened in Kindle, but they won’t be referred to by the name of the file. It will be a string of numbers instead. You also won’t be able to save your progress while reading.
6. Click on the file, and then select the option “Open With… Kindle”
