Ten top Linux e-publishing tools
"1. Calibre: Superficially, Calibre looks like a tool to manage books on your e-reader. But underneath, it offers much more. It is a powerful management tool that can edit the metadata for your books and convert books into a useable format for the Kindle, Nook and iPad among others. With this tool, I can make a properly formatted rich-text version of the original document, edit the metadata to include details such as author, publisher, cover and tags, and then covert that file to .mobi, .epub, and .pdf. With those three formats, you cover nearly every e-reader on the market."

Watch how patent lawyer types try to white-wash the patent trolls? role in industry and cover the fact that Gates and his buddy Myhrvold are extorting RIM for its phones, just like HTC and Samsung (for Linux), allegedly after Myhrvold did his blackmail routines.
