I have zip to 120gif files that needs to make it to ebooks (epub). Im noob to this forum and haven't tried anything. From Calibre program, it says it cannot covert gif files to epub.

Try zipping the files, then changing the extension to .cbz or cbr (if you use Winrar). Then, Calibre can convert the .cbr or .cbz files into epub.

Try this:

and then change the extension name to .cbz (back it up first, just in case).

I don't believe .gif is a supported image format...

Try converting .gif to .jpg and then follow the instructions that I gave you before. I found a few .gif to .jpg converter online, but I haven't tried it out. Here is the link:

I have made epubs from jpegs using the method that I mentioned in post #2, so this should work.
