<font face="sans-serif">Thanks for that tip Daniel. I am a recent
(and elderly) convert to Kindle (1) and I've had to keep a
Windows7 partition for its software. I normally run Mint12KDE so
all Ubuntu software is available. It looks like Calibre is just
the ticket.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Alan, I use Calibre (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://calibre-ebook.com">http://calibre-ebook.com</a>) which is a native
Linux app and works with my wife's Kindle 3. It is also available in
the Ubuntu Software Centre.

<pre wrap="">I had a returned machine yesterday from a near-convert who loved the
penguin, but absolplutely needed to run his kindle software, he had
tried Wine on Ubuntu 11.10 but tells me it fails to communicate with the
device. Not being a Kindling I can't test.
Is anyone aware of a native Linux app under development, or has got them
to talk with Wine?
