I seem to remember you don't need KindleGen unless you want to generate a .mobi file.
I took a look at the ciromattia github page and the Linux installer has not been available for quite a while.
Doing some quick searching, I found some information at the ASCIIDoctor project:
Current workaround for Linux is: - Find kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v2_9.tar.gz somewhere in the internet. Note that this step is legally questionable.
- Unpack it
{*]Do one of
a. Add unpacked directory to PATH
b. Set KINDLEGEN environment variable with path to KindleGen executable
c. Use -a ebook-kindlegen-path=/path/to/kindlegen to command line when converting to Mobi
Searching for the tarball file found quite a few hits including:

Good luck! |
Thanks for the reply.. If that's the case, is there any work around where I can get JPGs to be a substitute of book for the Kindle Paperwhite 2021? I read older ones were able to do it by either making /images/(folder name)/001.jpg, etc or /pictures/ in place of images but none seem to work for me.
I have basically JPGS of a literature that my friend has written before passing away and was looking for ways to read it on the Kindle while I travel (I bought Kindle the first time specifically for this reason)
