Operating System: x86_64 CentOS 7 Linux (supports i386 too)
kindlegen tarball: kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v2_9.tar.gz
According to all the docs I read, it's suppose to produce a single file that has both mobi and kf8 in it. That's not what I'm seeing.
Source ePub 3 (which passes validation) is 7.4 MB (much of that is fonts)
When running the kindlegen binary on it, TWO files are produced - one with a .mobi extension and one with a .mobi8 extension.
The .mobi file is 14.7 MB so maybe it does have two versions in it?
The .mobi8 file is 106.6 kB meaning it clearly doesn't have much of anything in it, guessing none of the fonts. It would fit on the old 400k floppies my classic mac used
Can anyone describe what these output files are since they differ from all documentation I've seen on what is suppose to be produced (single output file)
I don't yet have a kindle to see how the conversion went, should be arriving shortly.
Seems the preview app doesn't work on Linux so I can't preview until I get a kindle (I don't have Windows or MacOS/OS X)
