Not strictly a Kindle question, e-pub would work. PDF isn't suitable.

How can I get a wikibook, in full, on my Kindle?

Kindle support

I know it's been a bit of time, but maybe it's time to add Kindle
support. First, mobi isn't only used by Kindle, it just happens to be
the most popular. Second, mobi is XHTML so the conversion from HTML to
mobi is actually quite simple, which is why it's the preferred
submission filetype for Amazon. And, the Kindle (one of the most
popular eReaders), also handles straight up HTML files as well, with
full chapter support, etc. With most older Kindles you have to change
the file extension to .txt or .nownow but leaving it as HTML is fine
and it will read it the same as it does mobi.

It's just on my mind because I had such a fun time today realizing
that the standard book maker on the left and the supposed WS one
listed in Prefs/Gadgets weren't able to make epub, odt, or pdf of the
few books I tried. However, I should note that the epub link on the
left menu did work well.

Anyway, I'm just thinking that we could install an already-made script
to handle this if any admins feel similarly. The Haz talk 05:08, 3
