Fame at last!
I think Kovid (and assistants) are to be congratulated on recognition from the royalty of the digital publishing world - Adobe Inc.
A new white paper on their website describes in some detail how to set up Calibre and use it to convert from epub to mobi, and thence to the Kindle.
The paper is here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalp...ntokindle.html.

Nice going.

Maybe if enough of us make comments as to Calibre being able to make epubs then, well, who knows

Well, once with a big donation would do too

C'mon Adobe, pony up. You got the dosh.

Seek a high paying job at Adobe, Kovid!

On the other hand I see Adobe is going down the tubes as it's revenue plummeting...
That is what happens if you release 127th version in 200 days and ask for hefty money for upgrades..hyperbole but true

Not really interested in working for a big crop., not that I have anything in particular against Adobe, but that tends to suck all the joy out of life.

This is because calibre is simply the best thing out there. Congrats, Kovid :-)
