Sorry - I'm completely baffled by what you're saying. There are LOADS of free tools out there to completely trivially convert pretty much any format you care to name into MobiPocket format

I hate to argue with HarryT, in that he has taken me to task on this before... BUT, when it comes to Fanfiction, I still disagree. I find tons of MobiPocket encoded fiction on the net, but while it is not DRM'ed, (they load fine into my T/X) it won't convert using the common tools we keep refering to -- of course who knows what converter was used to put a .TXT into MobiPocket in the first place? Maybe others have had more success, but I have tried every tool listed in Wiki for Mobi conversion, and they don't work on the files I want.
So, I'll put my shields up, and state that Sony and BookDesigner are still the best open source solution I have found.
