Amazon has released a free plug-in that allows InDesign users to export documents and books to Kindle format. The Kindle for Adobe InDesign (Beta) works with InDesign CS4 and CS5 in Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS 10.5 (“experimental” i.e. YMMV) and 10.6. Mac users are advised to run Security Update 2010-005 before installing the plug-in.
You can download the PDF Help and Release Notes here.
Installing the plug-in adds an Export for Kindle item in the File and Book panel menus.
In the Kindle Export Options dialog box, you can specify TOC, cover, and title options, and choose to view the export. Click Help to download the Help and Release Notes PDF.
The file is saved in .mobi format.
With the Kindle Previewer application you can view the results of your export.
