1. Kindle Cloud Reader: read eBooks from anywhere
1. Kindle云阅读: ⾛到哪读到哪
This is a web app that connects to your Amazon Kindle account and lets you read
your eBook collection from any PC or device. This service (which is partially
conceived to liberate Kindle eBooks on devices and tablets from from dependency
on ‘app stores’ as go-betweens) is a great idea and works really well.
这个web应⽤程序与你的亚马逊Kindle账户相关联，你可以在任意电脑或阅读设备上查看你的电⼦书选集。这样，不论是⽤平板电脑，还是其他阅读设备，都可以阅读你的Kindle书籍。这点⼦真太棒了！
Because it is browser based, Kindle Cloud Reader can be used from any platform
or internet enabled device.
因为这是⼀个web应⽤程序，云阅读在任意平台或⽀持互联⽹应⽤的阅读设备上都能使⽤。

2. Kindle Reader for PC and Mac: read eBooks on your computer
2. Kindle Reader for PC and Mac: 在电脑上看电⼦书
Kindle Reader for PC/Mac was meant for those who wanted to buy and read
eBooks instantly on their computer without a physical reader. What it is in effect is
as a local desktop client for your Amazon Kindle eBooks.
如果你只想在电脑上买书看书，那这个软件是不⼆选择。它其实相当于亚马逊图书的电脑桌⾯
客户端。
This program is different than the cloud reader in that it functions as a good general
use eBook reader and will read all Kindle-readable formats offline. Double clicking
on any .AZW format file (produced by the Amazon online conversion service, #4
below) will add the file to the library, or on PC you can import eBooks into the
Kindle Reader by manually placing your Kindle-readable eBook files into the “My
Kindle Content” folder in “My Documents”. (Note: one thing to consider is that you
will need a valid Amazon userid/pass to log into the program).
这个软件和云阅读的不同在于，它更像⼀个通⽤电⼦书阅读器，可以脱机阅读任何Kindle⽀持格式的图书⽂件。双击任意.AZW格式⽂件，就可以将⽂件添加到图书馆，如果是在PC上，你还可以⼿动添加。只要把⽂件放到“我的⽂档”⾥⾯的“My Kindle Content”⽂件夹就可以了。（注意：软件登陆时要求填写有效的亚马逊⽤户名和密码）

3. Kindle Previewer: see how converted eBooks will look on your Kindle
3. Kindle Previewer: 预览转换后的电⼦书在Kindle上的版式
This program is extremely useful if you’ve been converting eBooks to Kindle
appropriate formats (from formats that are presumably less Kindle friendly), or if you
are publishing your own Kindle eBooks. What it does is simply allow you to see
exactly what you eBook will look like on the Kindle, saving you the trouble of having
to upload and test it on the device. Sounds simple but, as someone who has done a
lot of PDF to Kindle conversions, I can attest that it is extremely useful.
如果你要转换⽂件到Kindle⽀持的格式，或者想⾃⼰制作⼀本Kindle电⼦书，那这个软件就太有⽤了。它的功能很简单，在把电⼦书上传到Kindle之前，你可以先⽤这个软件来预览显⽰效果如何。听起来没什么⼤不了，但如果你有⼀堆PDF⽂件要转换的话，我打赌你会发现这个功能⾮常有⽤。

4. Amazon Kindle email conversion service:free online eBook conversion service
4. 亚马逊Kindle邮件转换服务: 免费的在线转换服务
Amazon offers an online document conversion service whereby you could email
any of the following format documents (MS Word, PDF, HTML, TXT, RTF, JPEG,
GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI, as long as they are unprotected) and have them
remotely converted to Kindle-friendly .AZW format. This service comes in two
flavors, a free one where your document is emailed back to you, and a paid one
where it is beamed down to your Kindle via whispernet 3G.
亚马逊提供免费的在线邮件转换服务。发送以下格式的未加密⽂件 (MS Word, PDF, HTML, TXT, RTF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PRC and MOBI) 到⽤户名@free.kindle或者⽤户名
@kindle，⽂件会⾃动转换为kindle⽀持的 .AZW 格式。不同之处在于，发送到⽤户名
@free.kindle的不收费, 转换后会通过邮件和wif把⽂件传输给你。⽽发送到⽤户名
实习单位鉴定@kindle的⽂件会在转换后通过收费的 whispernet 3G传输给你。
What you need to do to use the free service is register your email at Kindle
management page at Amazon. Next, you can send an email to
yourname@free.kindle with “Convert” as the subject, and the file you want to
convert added as an attachment. Note that some email services have size limits on
attachments in (for example max attachment size in Gmail is 25 megs). Also note
that you can zip your document first before attaching. Your converted file will be
sent back to you via return mail.
想要使⽤免费服务，你需要将⾃⼰的邮箱添加到Kindle管理页⾯的信任列表。接下来，新建邮件，邮件题⽬⼀栏填“Convert”，把要转换的⽂件添加到附件，发送到⽤户名@free.kindle 就可以了。转换好的⽂件会发到你的邮箱。注意：附件⼤⼩可能会有限制。附件可以采⽤压缩⽂件。
This is a great service and an excellent way to read all kinds of documents on your
Kindle from anywhere without dealing with local eBook conversion software.
有了这个很棒的在线服务，你不需要转换软件，也可以随时随地阅读不同格式的⽂档了。

5. Calibre: eBook conversion and management software
5. Calibre: 电⼦书转换和管理
This is the reigning king of eBook readers for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is an
ambitious eBook management suite that includes eBook format conversion, an
eBook reader for any format, and online tagging and local organizing of eBook files.
It also supports syncing with Android, iOS, and most all eBook reading devices,
including the Kindle.
这个软件是当之⽆愧的电⼦书阅读软件王者，不论是在Windows，Mac还是Linux平台。它是⼀个⾮常出⾊的电⼦书管理套件。格式转换，图书阅读，在线标记，图书管理，⽆所不能。它还⽀持安卓，iOS，和⼤多数阅读设备的同步，这其中当然包括Kindle。
For Kindle owners, Calibre is the surest way to convert most any document format
under the sun into a Kindle friendly format (such as .MOBI). It is also a great tool for
tagging/downloading metadata to your eBook files as well as syncing them with the
Kindle. In short, a great tool if you have an extensive eBook library, especially if it
mostly from non-Amazon sources. Or if you also like to read and organize eBooks
locally on your computer.
Calibre是Kindle⽤户转换⽂件格式的不⼆选择。它还提供了下载、修改图书元数据的功能，可以与Kindle同步图书元数据。如果你书⽬众多，⽽且⼤部分图书都不是从亚马逊书店买的，或者你喜欢在电脑上阅读管理图书，选择Calibre就没错。

6. Hamster Free eBook Converter: casual, powerful eBook converter
6. Hamster Free eBook Converter: 轻便但强⼤的电⼦书转换⼯具
This software can convert pretty much any eBook and document format into a
Kindle friendly format such as .MOBI. The reason it is so powerful? It actually
incorporates some of the (open source) code from Calibre, above. (Note: at one
point they were in violation of some of the terms of usage for this code, but that
seems to be no longer the case).
这个软件能够转换⼏乎任何类型的电⼦书和⽂档到Kindle⽀持的格式，⽐如.MOBI。点解会如此强⼤？事实上，它从Calibre整合了⼀部分开源代码，以上。（注意：之前软件违反了某些代码
使⽤条款，现在这个问题似乎已经得到解决。）
This is a must have for two reasons (1) it can convert most anything to Kindle
friendly .MOBI quickly and efficiently, and (2) it is great for one-off, casual use, andpdf电子书制作
doesn’t have the kind of ambition and breadth that Calibre (above) has, if all you
want is to quickly convert and move on.
这个软件值得拥有，原因有两个：（1）格式通吃，转换快速⾼效（2）功能专⼀，体积⼩巧，不折腾

7. Auto Kindle eBook Converter: converts PDF, Lit, and HTML files to Kindle-
friendly .MOBI format
7. Auto Kindle eBook Converter: 将PDF, Lit, and HTML 格式⽂件转为MOBI 格式李东学个人资料
Once run, this program will ask you to point to a PDF, LIT, or HTML file and convert
it to MOBI. That’s all there is to it; the program has no interface, except for a small
configuration dialog used mainly to set the output folder (see screenshot).
运⾏软件后，软件会要求指定需要转换的PDF，LIT或HTML⽂件，就这么简单，没有花哨的界⾯，只需要在⼀个⼩设置对话框⾥设置输出⽂件夹就可以了。
When I tested it, there was a bit of a lag between clicking the program icon and
getting the file dialog prompt, but it performed the conversion well. As a general
converter, however, I still prefer the much slicker and more powerful Hamster Free
eBook Converter (#6 above).
我测试软件时发现，软件启动有些慢，但转换效果没问题。如果你只需要转换⽂件，我还是建议你实⽤上⾯推荐的第6个软件。

8. Briss: visual PDF cropping tool
8. Briss: 可视化PDF页⾯调整⼯具
For most PDF ebooks out there (and there are very many). the Kindle unfortunately
does not provide a very good reading experience. And while most of the tools
mentioned above can convert a PDF eBook to something more suited to the Kindle
(i.e. .MOBI or .AZW), the headers/footers/page numbers in most PDF eBooks can
end up strewn inside your converted eBook in a very unpleasant fashion. Briss can
help avoid this by letting you crop these elements (in a semi-automated way) before
converting.
很多PDF格式的电⼦书在Kindle上难有最佳的阅读体验。上述这些⼯具在转换PDF为更适合Kindle的.MOBI或.AZW格式时，页眉，页脚或页码常常跳出来捣乱。Briss能够避免这种情况发⽣，在转换之前，以半⾃动⽅式裁剪掉这些元素。
Moreover, by eliminating headers/footers and white margins, it can in many cases
result in a Kindle-ready PDF that does not need conversion at all.
⽽且，有时在去掉页眉页脚之后，你会发现PDF⽂件不⽤转换也可以在Kindle上很好的阅读了。
