+mobiperl (tools for generating and manipulating MobiPocket files)
+
+MobiPocket (.mobi) is a file format used by e-book readers on desktop
+PCs and platforms such as the Kindle.
+
+Included tools:
+
+html2mobi - convert HTML files to .mobi
+lit2mobi  - convert LIT files to .mobi  [1]
+mobi2html - convert .mobi files to HTML
+mobi2mobi - manipulate metadata in .mobi files
+mobils    - list contents (metadata) of .mobi files
+opf2mobi  - convert OPF files to .mobi  [2]
+
+[1] For lit2mobi to work, office/convertlit must be installed. Even then,
+    it doesn't seem to work particularly well.
+
+[2] opf2mobi doesn't seem to actually work. If someone manages to fix
+    it, please let the maintainer know.

+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
