lcfan99, have you tried right-clicking on the green icon and choosing the option "Save As" or "Save Link As" to save the Kindle-compatible mobi file to your hard drive? That's what I've been doing on my laptop running Windows.
Lauren, when I try to do that, the only "Save" choices I get are "Save Target as..." and "Save Picture as..." When I've tried "Save Target as..." the only option I get is to save an .html file, which doesn't open on my Kindle. When I click on "Save picture as..." my computer tries to save the Mobi-green file as a .gif, which is just the picture of the green icon.
So I tried opening the file and, of course, got the mobi file language. But when I tried to save that, my only "Save as type" options were the following:
Webpage, complete (*.htm, *.html)
Web Archive, single file (*.mht)
Webpage, HTML only (*.htm, *.html)
Text file (*.txt)
When I tried renaming it, the .azw wouldn't save as an extension, and I just ended up with an html file with .azw in the name.
I'm running Windows Internet Explorer on Vista. I suppose I could do what lcfan99 has done, but it just seems like a waste of time when the archive has already provided a mobi conversion--except that it can't be downloaded onto my computer as a mobi file to run on Kindle.
Can you guys help? Please don't bother telling me how to do a mobi conversion myself. I can already download the files as .txt files, and my Kindle reads them fine. I just have to get rid of the line breaks (a few keystrokes in Word), replace the double spacing between paragraphs with tabs, and replace the strings of asterisks between scenes with a 2" underline (again, a few keystrokes in Word), and the document is as beautiful on my Kindle as those prepared especially for it. It just seems like a waste to do all of that when the archive is trying to provide Kindle-ready files.
