Kindlegen now for Mac OS X (Intel)
I don't know when Amazon rolled it out, but Kindlegen is now available for Mac OS X (& Linux) as well as for Windows. Only for Intel-based Macs though, and still a command-line only programme.

But I'm still very pleased - I much prefer to do stuff on Mac.

Well, perhaps it's because you've got some error in your files? I don't get any language ID warning.

If you post the exact error message, the the relevant section of (presumably) your opf file, perhaps someone can work out what's wrong.

And with the quicker turn-around for testing, I've now managed to get a set of source files that zip-up to be an epubcheck-compliant ePub file, and compile using Kindlegen with no errors or warnings to be a Kindle Mobipocket file. Excellent.

Of course, it does mean that at the moment the formating of the ePub file is not as pretty as it could be, but I suspect that with a little more work I'll be able to add pretty ePub formatting to the CSS file that will just get ignored when compiling with Kindlegen.

I'm very, very pleased with this. Having more than one version of source files is always a bad idea.

Now to get my Applescript wrapper for Kindlegen working...
