I have a Sony, not a Kindle but here's how I do it for my Nokias. Your best bet would be MobiPerl, a free suite of tools you can find my searching the forum. You'll also need a tool called ConvertLit also free (search google) For batch conversions, I work from the command-line, using linux bash scripts:



I would call the script above with: '$doloop lit2mobi' were I converting a directory of .lit format files, substituting different commands for different fletypes. This would also work if you're using OS X. For Windows, you'll have to find someone with better .bat file skills, but I'm sure it's doable there too.

Ehm... as I know NOTHING about programming and, unfortunately have no programmer wife or husband could you tell me VERY SIMPLE how to write commands like those in windows xp environment? Also, if it is not too much disturb, could you advise me on best software? I have TONS of PDFS, and Docs... so I guess it would be better to turn them in Azw (Azw does preserve pictures right?)
