Auto Kindle ebook converter
I don't know if this has been posted yet or not. I just saw it & thought it might interest some of you...
http://www.download.com/8301-2007_4-10187502-12.htm It says auto Kindle ebook converter, but as it makes a Mobi file it might be useful for anyone wanting Mobi format. Haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it's any good or not. |

Interesting link, but am not sure why one would want to use this vs mobipocket creator or Calibre which seem to do the same job,

"Using a print-to-PDF program like doPDF or PrimoPDF, you can convert a DOC or TXT to PDF"
Yes, and you can also convert same to pdf through Open Office which is free too! I don't believe that Amazon is actually charging anyone the 10cent fee. I think that is what they were going to do, but so far, haven't charged anyone that I know, including myself. Also Calibre is great for converting txt to mobi and downloading directly onto your device. Don't know about docs as I don't use them myself. It does convert pdfs although I haven't tried it. Nice article and definitely a program to keep an eye on. Thanks! |

I tried this out and FWIW it works very cleanly and quickly and the output is very nice.
I first used ereader2html to convert a secure ebook I bought from fictionwise (which wasn't available in the Kindle Store) to html. I then used this tool to convert the html to mobi and it looks great on my Kindle 2. Took all of 2 minutes to do all of that and upload it to the Kindle and start reading. I've owned my Kindle 2 for 16 days and I'm already so tired of drm I could scream. |
