Mounting via sshfs

It may also be helpful to mount your Kindle’s filesystem into your computer. You can use sshfs to achieve this. You will need to have SSH access working in the first place.

To mount the Kindle’s root FS to the local directory “kindle”: $sshfs root@192.168.15.244 :/ kindle/

To read-only mount the Kindle’s root FS to the local directory “kindle”: $sshfs -o ro root@192.168.15.244 :/ kindle/

To unmount: $fusermount -u kindle/

To do an index refresh: #dbus-send –system /default com.lab126.powerd.resuming int32:1

To do a full rescan: $lipc-set-prop – com.lab126.scanner doFullScan 1

with ro mount, gave an error message.. need to check further

com.lab126.scanner failed to set value for property doFullScan (0x3 lipcErrNoSuchSource)

Adjust the above examples to your particular setup as needed.

It’s a nice article. I hated pdf format in kindle as it slow in rendering and turning page. So I made two changes in your method. First after copying the HTML content from project madurai I pasted it in notepad and while saving I changed the encoding format to UTF-8. When using calibre I converted the txt file to mobi format. While doing it, in the options —> look and feel —-> embed font family —> I chose Latha font and ticked embed referenced fonts.

Now when I load this mobi file in kindle, it displays like a charm like any other english book. Now its awesome to read tamil books in kindle. With some more efforts I could add even index, etc while converting. Hope it would be useful for others.
