Crop margins out of PDFs to them reader friendly for your Kindle, Kobo or other e-reader equipment.
This is where Briss comes in.
Using The Program
Fire up Briss and you’ll see a mostly empty window.
Before the fun begins you’ll have to open a PDF, using the “File” menu.
you’re free to exclude other pages, however.
It’s up to you.
Take a look and decide what you want to keep of the given pages.
Once you’re ready you could select your text, creating blue boxes.
you might opt to include everything or to leave some excess imagery behind.
Again, how you crop a book is up to you; your mileage may vary.
Be sure to grab the “Preview” button to see what the cropped file will look like!

Head over to theBriss project page on SourceForgeto download the latest version.
The program comes as a ZIP file.
Windows users can use the .EXE file enclosed, while Mac and Linux users should execute the .JAR file.
Convert To Epub?
Of course, reading PDFs on an e-ink reader isn’t ideal.
Even with cropping, battery life is an issue and it’s not easy to increase the font.
PDFs are made to print, not be read on devices designed to reflow text.
You could try using epub2go for converting PDFs to epub files, but the results are inconsistent at best.
Look for it later this month!
