Are there tools that can convert pdfs to mobi format?

+1 vote
294 views

Amazon, as part of its Kindle service, does provide a pdf to azw (Amazon's version of mobi) conversion service:

The results are generally good. Once in a while, there is a pdf file that was produced either from images (hence no text) or odd formating. In those cases the conversion results are weak.

My interest would be in bypassing Amazon's service.
Any recommendations?

Calibre will convert many input formats to many output formats, including PDF to Mobi. Obviously if the PDF input is a set of scanned images, the output will be poor unless you can do OCR on them (haven't tried that). It also manages all your e-books, can talk to a variety of e-readers and is a screen reader itself. The UI is slightly strange but it's well-maintained and frequently updated.

yum install calibre
