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.

You and Amothea seem to be talking at cross purposes. She (?) is saying that she considers the Sony to be more "open" than the Kindle; you are saying that most FanFic you come across is in Mobi format. DRM-free Mobi files can be read directly by the Kindle, so if most FanFic is indeed in Mobi format, wouldn't that make the Kindle a more suitable device for it than the Sony?
I entirely agree with you about BD, by the way. GREAT tool!
