MobiDesktop 6.0 recognizes the Kindle as a reading device. It will synchronize your Mobipocket ebooks. I like to use it to back up my bookmarks. MobiDesktop can also automatically download an RSS feed, assemble it into an ebook, and transfer it to your Kindle. I don't usually use this feature because I prefer to read the material online.

Also, it's possible to buy a DRMed Mobipocket ebook and (without removing the DRM) alter it slightly so you can read it on your Kindle. Look at the following links.

And this is how I run the Python scripts:
