Amazon's Personal Document Service
I used amazons free service using email to convert a pdf file, and i got it converted in 2min.
My pdf was a story book with page numbering and has contents, but the converted file removed all the page numbering and it look clean and formatted in a kindle readable. but no TOC, its ok but If i do the conversion in mobi or calibre i still get the page numbers and its not formatted properly. What technology amazon is using and how it is fast. |

PDFtoEpub does a good job with text based PDF, and despite its name it outputs mobi files too. It was free when I got it, not sure if it still is or not. You can actually set Calibre up to crop off common strings like headers and page numbers, but it's quite fiddly to use.

They were saying the same thing when I got it, except with it ending on a different month.
