Hello community,
in times of environmental policies to save resources, it would be great to have a print to kindle module on nautilus, so I can also save paper. Someone has any ideas about how to create one? I consider using some kind of command from calibre.

Easiest thing to do, try it out..
Your suggestion Calibre, well there is a Linux version and it advertises a large number of convertible file formats..
http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual/fa ... on-to-from
http://blogkindle.com/2009/06/kindle-dx ... rt-review/
Kindle 2, can use a PDF file, and there is a print to pdf function available for CUPS/Linux..
Or if that option is not available, a conversion of a kindle file..

- Of course you can still email you PDF file to free document conversion email at @free.kindle.com and then import into Kindle. Font sizes and “read to me” will then work however for PDF documents the result of such conversion is usually not visually pleasing.

Re: How to create a print to kindle/mobi module to nautilus
Thanks for the very fast reply,
but i was thinking if it was possible to create a print to mobi on the print options of nautilus, or to create a command using nautilus-actions to produce a print of a pdf file in the mobi file format?? I`m not used to use the shell, so I wonder if someone could suggest something.

Hello fellows,
I`ve created a Nautilus-Actions entry with the correct command, but I think that`s something wrong in the way I configured Nautilus-Actions, since I get no mobi file.
Here`s the command:
I have tested it on the terminal and is working. Anexed comes the image of the configuration I made.

Re: How to create a print to kindle/mobi module to nautilus
After a lot of googling and efforts to understand the Nautilus-Actions and shell I came into one solution, now you can create a small .mobi file from your pdfs and then read on your Kindle. The Nautilus-Actions entry requires the instalation of Calibre first. To use it just import the file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/508558/c12f087e ... 7c.desktop on your Nautilus-Actions window.
