Mobigen (KindleCreator) for Linux now available

As Hadrian first posted, MobiPocket has release an alpha of mobigen for Linux. See the Mobipocket Developer Center.

I have not tried it on ebooks yet, but running mobigen_linux with no arguments returns:
Quote:

Options:

I wonder if Amazon is using Linux servers for their conversions. Does this also work under OSX?
