I noticed the lack of a cover because I was able to send the file to my Kindle at work (where I don't have Calibre or Sigil), but the text looks great.

One issue, which we might want to discuss privately so as not to derail the thread:

Every time I try to open an HTML file or conversion, or edit a preexisting epub book in Sigil, I seem to lose part of the text. I was working on a version of At-Swim Two Birds and ceased once bits of text began disappearing. I didn't know how to stop the process, let alone undo it.

That's the only reason I hesitate to work on Minima Moralia in Sigil. If you wouldn't mind trading a few emails on the subject, perhaps I can take your conversion, add a cover and hone the text. I have a beautiful hardcover of MM to which to compare it.

Whether you choose to advise me or not, thanks tons for converting and uploading the book! Such a pleasure to see the text on my Galaxy S and PRS-350.
