Support for mobi format #81

Open robmcclel opened 9 years ago

I've been following Anthologize since its inception and have been testing and revising it with an eye for trade book formatting (authors using their websites to create and format their books). I think with the .75 release, this plugin is approaching that ideal.

The first thing to making this a viable product is going to be the ability to produce a mobi formatted book, so this Issue is to address that.

Yes, this is a good idea. More on the mobi format: http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/article.asp?BaseFolder=prcgen

Well, Kindle is the primary distribution channel for nearly everything ebook, these days. Even for those distributing a book for free to be reviewed, the Kindle (mobi) version is, by far, the most downloaded (usually upward of 70%), because so many have Kindles and Amazon makes it fairly easy to upload digital copies.

The last ARC reader push I did for Wonderment Media was 117 Mobi downloads, 40 ePub, and 27 pdf -- and that ratio is pretty average (I've pushed out 5 ARC copy rounds this last month).

Thanks for the figures. As noted, I agree that it's important.
