| Hi Michael and Luis,
I have a Kindle myself and prefer mobi where possible. If it's
DRM-free mobi, then there's little problem to convert to epub, or vice
versa. epub's can be DRM restricted themselves, so I don't feel so
strongly that one or the other is essentially better, though EPUB
seems to be "more" free.
Regarding mobi format, I didn't see any easy tool like I did for epub
creation. However, I use Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) to
organize most of my electronic texts (pdf, epub, mobi, etc.) and use
that to convert and send versions of epubs as mobi files to my Kindle.
Considering the source of the manual is free, getting it out in as
many popular formats for everyone seems to be most in the spirit of it
all for me.
Thanks!
steven
