I agree with Bob. I use Kindlefix and then Mobi2mobi_gui.

Yesterday, I downloaded a book and from the time it hit my computer until it was available to be copied over to my Kindle was 7 minutes and it was only that slow because I went back to amazon's site to get the right title and description type of metadata.

On the bright side, last Friday when I got my Kindle and started working with this it seemed like a frustrating endless task and now it's, let's just say, easy peesy.
