Using FAA charts on a Kindle

[Lifeguard911 9]

Looking for a better way to keep charts handier than printing them out, I have tried installing approach/departure charts/airport diagrams on my Kindle 3 (I can't afford an IPad2 right now). I had installed individual charts in the Kindle as a PDF, then transferred them to a collection named AIRNAV CHARTS. This was too cumbersome as each chart is listed individually.I then found a website called On-final.com. At this website, you can download all the charts for an airport as one larger PDF file. Then I named each file by it's code (e.g KDEN Bundle for Denver International) and installed the bundle to the AIRNAV CHARTS collection.This makes finding all relevant charts for an airport easier. Listing them by title on the Kindle arranges the airport codes alphabetically. Each chart is shown as a seperate page, so you can choose an airport and then flip through the charts rather than find one chart at a time on the Kindle.The only drawback is the screen size. You can enlarge the charts on the Kindle to see them better, but you have to move them around on the screen to see the part you need. With a little practice, it's not all that hard to do.My thanks to On-final.com.p.s Another flight sim related thing I have done with my Kindle is installing aircraft checklists. I had to reformat them so the lettering was large enough to read easily. A size 24 Arial font works well for this. A typical checklist is eight to ten Kindle pages long once it's reformatted.
