I recently bought a Kindle 3 and am loving it, but I want to convert some of my programming books to read them on the Kindle (yes, I know, everyone says it's not what this thing is made for).

So, PDF's don't look great, and zooming is kind of awkward, and now I've found Calibre to convert to MOBI format.

It generally does a pretty good job, but I'm wondering what are optimal settings for converting to Kindle 3 viewable-ness.

My main issue right now, is that it causes line breaks randomly in the middle of lines. I've tried playing with settings, but have not been able to resolve this.

Anyone have tips?
