Sabemos que o PDF é um padrão para muitos, mas nem sempre é o ideal para leitura em e-readers ou dispositivos móveis, onde o MOBI oferece uma experiência otimizada, com texto adaptável ao tamanho do ecrã e navegação intuitiva. Acreditamos que a tecnologia deve simplificar, e não complicar. Por isso, criámos uma ferramenta pensada para si, que valoriza a eficiência e a compatibilidade. Converta os seus PDFs para MOBI de forma rápida, mantendo a qualidade e a formatação, para que possa aceder ao seu conteúdo onde e como quiser, sem amarras.
- Documentos bancários no telemóvel

Em Portugal e no Brasil, onde o uso de smartphones é predominante para acesso a informação e serviços, a conversão para MOBI facilita a leitura de conteúdos extensos que seriam maçadores em PDF, especialmente em telas menores.
