Testing mobi
I am working on getting my ebook into mobi format but I don't have a Kindle or another ebook reader than can handle mobi. I only have an Iriver.
Is there any reliable software that will show a mobi book on my Mac as it would appear in an ebook reader? |

If you have an Intel Mac running 10.5 or better, Kindle Previewer for Mac will simulate what your book will look like on a variety of Kindle models. I've found it's very close to my K2, with only the occasional quirk.
Unfortunately, none of the official Mobipocket software will run on a Mac via Wine. |

Kindle Previewer will show you how it will look on a Kindle:
