## Is this gem what you want?

There is an alternative gem called [kindlerb](https://github.com/danchoi/kindlerb) can generate mobi books, the gem is also used

for the website [KindleFeeder](http://kindlefeeder.com/) which is built by [Daniel Choi](http://danielchoi.com/software).

If you like to generate mobi book by some html files, you have to conform to the structure which author provide. But if you just

want to generate mobi book in the fly, then you should try this gem.
