You can use Mobipocket Creator, but now I think about it I don't use software at all these days. What I do is save my document to HTML format, then I send it to my account at free.kindle.com with the word Convert in the subject line and the document attached. Hey presto, in a few minutes it appears in Kindle format on my Kindle.David Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132293716206756778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006271757516922734.post-56439355559636810542011-07-09T10:08:54.076+01:002011-07-09T10:08:54.076+01:00Thanks, Nick.

I do get people who look somewhat disdainfully at me when I use my Kindle, as if I've committed a crime against books.<br /><br />Thinking about using one's Kindle in public reminds me of another benefit of the Kindle - nobody knows what you're reading. No need to be ashamed to be seen on the train or tube reading Harry Potter (cringe) or an erotic novel (not me, guv). For all they know, it could be 'War and Peace'. Actually, if it is 'War and Peace' you'll find the Kindle version a lot easier to carry about.David Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132293716206756778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006271757516922734.post-17155981179346377152011-07-09T09:16:06.326+01:002011-07-09T09:16:06.326+01:00A very good blog, David.

I too was slow to embrace the Kindle and e-books in general, but now I wonder how I ever lived without it.Nick Russellhttp://publishing4profit.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
