kindlegen cmd line options
kindlegen and kindle previewer apparently store a copy of the source file in the mobi file making the file larger than necessary for reading.
Some where I've seen a command line option to turn off the saving the source file, making the smallest mobi file possible. Woiuld someone please refresh my memory? Thanks |

Of course, you can do what I do. After generating the combined file, I just put that into Calibre and use Kindleunpack to split the files into KF8 & Mobi. Then you can replace the combined file in Calibre with the version you want to read and same even more space. |
