Yes, you guessed, after a superficial glance to make sure lines had been removed and indents added I deleted the original-epubs. That was some time ago - I've only just discovered the extent of the damage I've done after reading several converted books. |
It's things like this that makes me not advocate ePub > ePub conversations. Things can go wrong and if you don't notice it and think all is well and get rid of the original ePub, you then have a botched ePub that you can't go back and fix as easily as you could have before the conversion. It's best to do the fixes yourself by hand using a good text editor and Firefox or Sigil. I've been using a combination of Sigil, Notepad++, Firefox, and FlightCrew to edit ePub that Calibre has converted. Most publisher ePub, I leave out Sigil as the way I work in Notead++ is easier for me. But when I am needing to do things like rename a bunch of XML files, Sigil helps with that.
