I want to read it on the Kindle 2. There is a problem in displaying Hebrew characters in the usual formats - .mobi, .txt, azw (awz?), etc. - I can view a PDF document on the Kindle and an external html pages (there is no way that I know of to view html files stored in the Kindle - they are not presented in the menu of available documents.<div>
<br></div><div>The problem with PDF is that if the page size is too large, say A4, it is very unpleasant to read it on a 6 inch screen. It requires using the Kindle's mouse button (5-way arrows) to scan each line, or use a magnifying lens.</div>

</div>Why do you want PDFs? Don't you prefer an output format that is more<br>
portable with regards to the screen size? Have you considered ePub?<br>
<br>
And let's take one step backwards: can't you just take a tarball of<br>
HTML files + images?<br>
