Add a .mobi version for Kindles? #2

Would it be possible for you to create a .mobi version as well? I'm not sure what the process is to properly convert it, otherwise I would submit a PR.

Not without an additional conversion: the e-book is generated with Pandoc, which can only output (as standalone formats) PDF or ePUB files. I'm not familiar with the mobipocket format: the only tool I could find to do this job is KindleGen but it's non-free software with an EULA so I'm definitely not going to use it in the makefile. You could do the conversion on your own if you wish.

The binary is available for download without signing an EULA: http://kindlegen.s3.amazonaws.com/kindlegen_linux_2.6_i386_v2_9.tar.gz.

I suppose I understand the worry though, so if you don't think it makes sense to offer it here, feel free to close the issue.

Thanks!
