Fame at last!
I think Kovid (and assistants) are to be congratulated on recognition from the royalty of the digital publishing world - Adobe Inc.
A new white paper on their website describes in some detail how to set up Calibre and use it to convert from epub to mobi, and thence to the Kindle. The paper is here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalp...ntokindle.html. Nice going. bob |

Seek a high paying job at Adobe, Kovid!
On the other hand I see Adobe is going down the tubes as it's revenue plummeting... That is what happens if you release 127th version in 200 days and ask for hefty money for upgrades..hyperbole but true |

Not really interested in working for a big crop., not that I have anything in particular against Adobe, but that tends to suck all the joy out of life.
