Mobipocket Creator Equivalent For Linux [closed]

Mobipocket Creator Equivalent For Linux [closed] I'm a Kindle DX owner and I normally download some free PDFs from the internet, but I prefer to read then using the PRC format. As I'm a Linux user, I can't use Mobipocket Creator, then I want to ask for a alternative.

Free reader, library manager and converter. Works on all platforms and inter-converts all formats. Supports Kindle, Sony, Bookeen etc.

It's actually much nicer than mobi and I found it by searching for ebook in the Ubuntu repository."

"It's quite easy, but not straightforward.

Install AbiWord. Open the PDF and copy all the text into Abiword. Save As, and choose the PalmDoc format. This is actually the MobiPocket format and can be read by the MobiPocket Reader on my BlackBerry. Haven't tested it on the Kindle, not owning one, but it should work.

Alternatively you could use pdftoabw (from the poppler-utils package in Ubuntu and Debian) to convert the PDF directly to AbiWord format, which might preserve formatting/images better than copy-paste."
