What is the best way to get ebook-convert on a CentOS 5.8 server?
I'm trying to get the ebook-convert tool installed on a CentOS 5.8 server on EC2. I thought the easiest solution would be to just install calibre, but it requires glibc 2.10+, and it seems like the latest stable version for CentOS 5.8 is glibc 5.5. This thread (http://serverfault.com/questions/451...-on-centos-5-8) has a few different suggestions like installing a different glibc then using LD_PRELOAD variables to set different libraries, but I'm hoping to avoid going down that path if possible.

Ultimately, I just want to convert HTML files to EPUB and MOBI files on the server. Is there an easy way to do it?

Just install the latest binary version. It includes all the dependencies. It also assumes that you have X.

The latest binary version still requres GLIBC 2.10 or higher, though, according to the page: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

There's no "easy" way. You either have to install glibc 2.10 or compile calibre from source.
