Yesterday I tried for the firts time Amazon format translation service. Just great, very fast and accurate. I had a few public domain books I downloaded from an Italian Online library. All of the were in rtf format. I tried to convert to a Kindle supported formay using Calibre but I experienced some problem, the major beeing the loosing of the hypertextual functionality of the summary.
The Amazon conversion is fine. The only problema is that your email address becomes the author of the book ( I fixed it using Calibre metadata managing functions).
Very fast too, I uploaded a 22MB book and I had it back translatrd in less than 5 minutes.
