Great little book to get you up to speed quickly on MongoDB. No religion about it, just here it is, make your own mind up. Plus it has unicorns fighting vampires !

Nice web book! I thought the coverage of map reduce was especially good. I also like the more complete book "MongoDB, The Definitve Guide" but this free book should probably serve the needs of most people.

fat fingers downvoted, luckily inspection and edit html let me correct the error. odd that I had to do so.

cleaned out the left and right braces

Does anybody have a good way of converting this to .mobi for Kindle?

Try converting PDF with Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/

or markdown -> ePub using http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) and ePub -> mobi using Calibre or kindlegen.

Do you mind posting the .mobi if you get it converted?

very basic generation script at https://github.com/robduncan/the-little-mongodb-book

Congratulations for the book, also for using simple and effective publishing tools like markdown and Pandoc.
