Solution to this

I will withdraw my request, and add the solution.

I was confused at to what was suppose to happen. Before when I did this, Calibre itself popped up with the file(s) ready to convert. Now I found a different solution that converts but has a different output, which is what was throwing me.

My solution:


In Firefox, do this:

/tools/grabmybooks/options.

On "Default ebook save format" select 'mobi'

Then in the "Calibre ebook-converter path put in

/usr/bin/ebook-convert

Within 'Grab books automatically into this directory - Add something in your /home/<name> (example: /home/kantuck-nadie/TRUEHOME/outbox/2kindle (all files to go to the Kindle is placed in it.)

This works just fine, in Debian 7.4. To find the path to your particular ebook convert, try:

$ sudo find / -name ebook-convert

You must have Calibre installed

I hope this helps others.
