Thanks for the suggestions.
I am complete unfamiliar with any of this sort of file conversion and despite having my Kindle for years this the very first time I've needed to convert a file that I could not convert by emailing it to Amazon/Kindle and having it do the conversion. The file I want to convert is too big to email and that is how I ended up here.
I've downloaded Kindlegen, but am having trouble with it.
1) It appears to me that it does not install like a normal program (on PC).
2) So I tried invoking it by double clicking the EXE file. A Window nearly opens, but is on the screen too briefly for me to read even a word of it. In fact it is on the screen so briefly that as far as I can tell there isn't enough time for the graphics card to actually write anything except the exterior window boundary to screen. Then it disappears and nothing happens after that.
What's up? What do I do to make it work? Help with be appreciated.
