Harry, I read through it and it's clear and concise. Thank you.
Down the road a bit, I may experiment with the command line converter, and see about scripted Mobi file generation.
One question for the group mind, however: MobiPocket Creator offers three compression options: None, Standard, and High.
I played a bit, creating a test Mobi file with each option, and all were handled just fine on my device, which is a Palm OS PDA running v5.3 beta of MobiReader for PalmOS, and by the current 6.1 MobiReader for Windows.
My inclination is to create Mobi documents using High compression, simply because there's no such thing as enough storage space. My question is whether that is known to be supported on all devices that can read Mobi files. Yes, it takes a lot longer to generate Mobi files using High compression, but I don't care. My computer is doing the work.
