The Last Roadmap, with my notes on a Kindle

The day started with the last bit of preparation for my Lenny Summit talk. I had Codex package the slides, full notes, and speaker questions into a compact set of PDFs I could take onto my Kindle.

Codex + Keynote + PDF + Kindle Scribe + Email

Before my talk, I wanted the slides and full speaker notes together on my Kindle. I had Codex turn the deck into a compact portrait PDF, with slides on the left and notes on the right, so I could review them without flipping between files.

We landed on two or three slides per page across seven pages, plus a separate one-page sheet of speaker questions. Codex handled the extraction and layout, then emailed both PDFs to my Kindle after I confirmed the destination. It turned the materials I already had into a reference pack suited to the device I wanted to use.
