I actually prefer KindleGen[0] to convert EPUB to MOBI - I find it produces a superior e-book.
Edit: Oh no, Amazon removed KindleGen! When did that happen? I still have x86 copies for Linux and windows if anyone wants it. Supposedly "Kindle Previewer" can do the same thing, but a cursory glance looks like it no longer supports Linux...

- sreevisakh 6y ago> Edit: Oh no, Amazon removed KindleGen! When did that happen? We know where this is going, don't we? Offering interoperability in the beginning and then gradually taking it away - the old bait and switch trick. We consumers fall for it again and again.
- mobilio 6y agoIt's replaced with Kindle Create: https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Create/b?ie=UTF8&node=18292298011 https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Create/b?ie=UTF8&node=18292298...
- umvi 6y agoAgain though, KindleGen had Linux support, it looks like this doesn't...
- Tijdreiziger 6y agoDamn, they removed KindleGen?! What a bummer!
- wjdp 6y agoAghh, I have (had?) a project that relied on downloading kindlegen as part of the CI/CD step. I just downloaded it from Amazon each time. I doubt I have a copy of it somewhere. Does anyone have / know of a copy of kindlegen for Linux anywhere? Edit: Wayback machine has it, thank god. Had a very real sense of loss there. Unsure why it's a project I've hardly touched for years. https://github.com/wjdp/gotdict https://github.com/wjdp/gotdict for the interested.
