Hi,

I've been using Calibre for a few months and think it is a great tool.

I was looking for help and discovered this forum anyway

I keep on being sent film scripts as PDFs and although I can make a stab at converting them to a format that I can comfortably read on my Kindle.

So the route is unfortunately PDF -> MOBI

Scripts are an odd format that is very well suited to e-readers but there don't seem to be any easy way to convert scripts into EPUB format easily.

Anyway if anyone has any tips on this it would be gratefully received.

I assume by playing with the CSS you can try to mimic the way a script is formatted.

Thanks in advance for any comments, sugestions and pointers
