How to Create E-Book Files with Mobipocket

If a file doesn't automatically open in Mobipocket Reader, you can manually import and convert it. This is a great way to make the following types of files readable by mobile devices and e-readers, including all versions of the Kindle:



  • Adobe PDF files



  • HTML Web page documents



  • Plain-text files



  • Rich Text Format (RTF) files



  • Microsoft Office files (including Word, Excel, and Access)




Launch Mobipocket from the Start menu, click the Import button near the top of the Mobipocket window, select Add Folder, and then select the folder on your file system that contains the content files that you want to convert.


You could also just drag one of the files you want to open atop the Mobipocket Reader icon in Windows Explorer or My Computer. The file automatically opens and is converted. After you have converted files, you can transfer them to your mobile device using a USB cable.


If you’re thinking that Mobipocket is an independent company that’s competing with Amazon.com for a share of the e-book market, think again. That might have been true at one time, but in 2005, Amazon purchased Mobipocket. Today, the two companies work together to provide e-books to users of the Kindle and competing electronic book readers.
