So here's a shout out to all my friendslist who read e-books--anybody have suggestions about conversion programs that

1) work on a Mac (because Macs are all I have--a PC only conversion program like MobiPocket Creator is a non-starter, alas)

and

2) convert from various ebook formats or word processing formats (Word would be nice, HTML would be nice, epub would be *particularly* nice, and rtf would be nice--other formats would be nice too but less sought after) into unsecured Mobipocket format?

Several of these formats Amazon will convert for free to Kindle format, but I'd like to have the conversion process under my control if possible.

We've not found a good Mobi converter/creator for the Mac, so all of ours (I work for a publishing company) are being done under Windows. However, they're still being done on a Mac, as we run Parallels and then run Mobi Creator under Parallels. (Same would work under VMWare's virtual machine.) If all you need it for is ebook creation, though, that's a pricy solution, by the time you buy Parallels and a Windows license.

Oh, and Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the heads up. Darn it, I was afraid of that.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.
