Hi all,

I've just put version 0.0.2 of lyx2kindle.py on the web, right here:

http://www.troubleshooters.com/projects/lyx2kindle/

It's free software so anyone can use it, modify it, or distribute it.

Version 0.0.2 is much more practical than 0.0.1. It can be used to 
make a Kindle specification compliant .mobi. It's not dufus simple, 
and the documentation is insufficient, and who knows, it's possible 
you might need someone to go in and change the Python code a little 
bit (although I doubt it), but IMHO it's much simpler than, for 
instance, authoring in Sigil. And I can't help feeling the final 
result will be likely to be better than something authored in MSWord.

So far this has only been tested on two books by me, both on the Linux 
operating system. But for people who have asked me about making Kindle 
books, I think this is better than most alternatives, especially if 
you're starting from scratch and can use LyX for your authoring tool.

Hope you like it.
