save it in a folder called "bin" inside your home folder, which is "/home/gregory/".

Any programs located in "/home/gregory/bin/" will be automatically found when you type them in the command line. (After first creating the "bin" folder, you need to log out then in for the folder to be sensed.)

Then to convert a book open the terminal, type in "kindlegen", space, the filename of the document to be converted, and there you go!
Sorry if I wasn't more clear -- if you create a folder called "bin" in your user folder (so it will be at "/home/gregory/bin/") you can put programs there which will be automatically sensed, see here for details: http://askubuntu.com/questions/9848/...rsonal-scripts

Particularly the second answer.
