Kindle(mobi) format anyone ?

Tichy 16y ago
Would be interested in getting this into my kindle app on my android phone, too. Found some instructions about converting to mobi format, but not sure how to sync to Android Kindle then.

  Aldiko (http://www.aldiko.com http://www.aldiko.com) is a great Android ebook viewer for epub, pdf, etc.

    FBReader (http://www.fbreader.org/ http://www.fbreader.org/) is an open source ebook viewer for Android with wider format support (though it doesn't do PDF), greater configurability and a somewhat more no-nonsense UI approach. A particular highlight is the brilliant integration with ColorDict and other dictionary apps.

  > not sure how to sync to Android Kindle Here's how I did it. I connected my Android phone to my Ubuntu PC using the USB cable. The phone's SD card was mounted as /media/XXXX-XXXX folder, which has a kindle subfolder. I copied sicp.mobi to the folder. That's it.

  Calibre is amazing for text only fiction book. It's completely useless for books with tables,graphs,equations...

  Calibre's nice but it always messes up the formatting / paragraphing even for text-only files

There's a free, official tool to convert EPUB into Kindle-optimized MOBI format. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000234621 http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000...

  It looks great; thank you! It will be nice to be able to put this on my Kindle and have it next to my MacBook as I work through examples. Flipping between the book and dev environment on a laptop screen is not as good.
