I also use Calibre. Works well, not always perfect, but pretty darn good. On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 8:06 AM, Tim Keller <turbofx@gmail.com> wrote:
I second calibre... I have through my travels on the internet collected a large number of free ebooks in a number of different formats... I use calibre so I can read them on my kindle. It supports pretty much anything to anything converting... Not always perfectly, but free is free...

Calibre will convert to many different formats, so it depends on what format you have it in. See: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/conversion.html#conversion
Whatever format you have it in, you may be able to use [pandoc]( http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/). Any of these formats: markdown <http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/>, reStructuredText< http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/introduction.html>, textile <http://redcloth.org/textile>, HTML < http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/>, DocBook <http://www.docbook.org/>, or LaTeX <http://www.latex-project.org/>can be the source format.

Has anyone made an ebook under linux? Specifically I'm taking about epub and mobi formats for supporting ereaders. I stupidly decided to do NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month - 50,000 words in 30 days) and succeeded. I still have to clean up the novel but assuming I finish that I'd like to convert it to ebook format.
