Then they probably will work in my Kindle app on the TP as well. I'll test it out when I get a chance, and report back.

This is just.. I can't believe I've never stumbled across this before. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who's posted in this thread (and of course to the originators of the projects in case they ever read this). This will truly be a trip down memory lane. Still got the swedish lone wolf (ensamma vargen) books on my shelf.

Thank you very much for the help, I really appreciate it. I´m in Spain but I read english without any serious problems.

I figured out how to make the books work in the Touchpad Kindle app! Note that this will only get the books into the Kindle app and make the readable (and the links to sections of course work), it's not going to include an automatic action chart or inventory catalog, like the program that can be downloaded from the website.

First, install Preware to the Touchpad, following this guide. That done, open Preware and search for "kindle". This brings up Kindle Import, that you need to install to be able to side-load to the Kindle app.

Unfortunately, Kindle Import requires that files have names of a very specific format. I've copy-pasted the way I named the first 20 Lone Wolf books in under the spoiler below, to make it easy for you.

Spoiler:

Lone Wolf 1 - Flight from the Dark
Lone Wolf 2 - Fire on the Water
Lone Wolf 3 - The Caverns of Kalte
Lone Wolf 4 - The Chasm of Doom
Lone Wolf 5 - Shadow on the Sand
Lone Wolf 6 - The Kingdoms of Terror
Lone Wolf 7 - Castle Death
Lone Wolf 8 - The Jungle of Horrors
Lone Wolf 9 - The Cauldron of Fear
Lone Wolf 10 - The Dungeons of Torgar
Lone Wolf 11 - The Prisoners of Time
Lone Wolf 12 - The Masters of Darkness
Lone Wolf 13 - The Plague Lords of Ruel
Lone Wolf 14 - The Captives of Kaag
Lone Wolf 15 - The Darke Crusade
Lone Wolf 16 - The Legacy of Vashna
Lone Wolf 17 - The Deathlord of Ixia
Lone Wolf 18 - Dawn of the Dragons
Lone Wolf 19 - Wolf's Bane
Lone Wolf 20 - The Curse of Naar

Once you've renamed all your downloaded Lone Wolf books, you need to manually move all of them to the the .palmkindle folder on the Touchpad. You may need to tell your Windows to show you hidden folders, try that if you can't find the folder on your first try.

Once all the renamed books are in the folder, open Kindle Import on the Touchpad and press Load New Books. Verify that the app has found all your Lone Wolf books (I skipped a space in one book name and had to redo that one), then press Import Books, and watch the magic happen.

All the Lone Wolf books should now be in your Kindle library. Note that you don't get the covers with this method, but since I use list view I don't care about those.
