Mobipocket
Thanks to Victor Rehorst I’ve finally figured out how to get Mobipocket formatted ebooks — without resorting to running a Windows server! The keys were mobigen.exe, the well-hidden command-line app from Mobipocket, and Wine, the Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix that runs on OS X.
Whew. I think it works, but it’s really late, and I’m tired — long story, but this morning I had a root canal and this afternoon I visited a CPA to talk about taxes, and getting this to work is what I thought about during both events to keep my mind off the horrors…
So I haven’t tested much, but it ought to work. You’ll tell me if it doesn’t, right?
