kindlegen "ebook_name.epub" -c1 -o "ebook_name.mobi"

The output file is a .mobi almost double in size to the .epub file.
Since kindlegen makes a dual mobi (KF7 and KF8 format), the output file is usually
considerably larger than the input EPUB. But it also by default includes a copy of the input EPUB file. Note the in post #14 the -dont_append_source option is listed. Using that option omits the copy of the EPUB from the output dual mobi. The output will likely still be larger than the EPUB, but at least it won't include a full copy of it.
