So you have two options 1) use the free or paid pdf conversion service from amazon. 2) use the MobiPocket software via a virtual machine (parallels, Fusion) or use Boot Camp. hope this helps.

Plucker working on kindle - i really don't know enough. I do know that Kindle runs on linux - however there is no way provided to run other programs. at this point i think there's no way to get pluckr on the kindle short of hacking it (http://igorsk.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html). So it'd be a suggestion to Amazon to put Pluckr on the Amazon Kindle, although i'm not sure of the ramifications. Another option would be - i'm assuming you have 'collected verses' by Kipling in a format that Pluck supports. Try out MobiPocket Creator to convert it into a format that Kindle accepts. I have no idea what format Pluckr uses so don't know for sure if MobiPocket Creator will do the job. let me know if i'm understanding your question correctly.
