Format AllRecipes for Kindle

If you’re a fan of cooking and a Kindle owner, you might appreciate this little utility that I wrote for my girlfriend today.

It takes a recipe from AllRecipes.com and formats it so that it can be easily read on a Kindle without pesky horizontal scrolling. The output it produces looks great with the Kindle(software version 2.5) set to “actual size”. There’s even a bookmarklet that will let you convert to Kindle format instantly with 1 click when you’re browsing AllRecipes.

Just use the bookmarklet on your favorite recipes and then use a utility to “print” to a PDF file, and drop it on your Kindle. I think it’s fairly straightforward. Any questions? Please leave a comment.

Also, I’m interested in how these PDFs work out on other devices. Feel free to post your experience and screenshots.
