Here's more detail that might help.
I start with ADD BOOKS. I choose ADD BOOKS FROM A SINGLE DIRECTORY
I change the FILE type to ALL HTML BOOKS which isn't really necessary but removes files like .pdf from the list.
I select a file (I've checked - this article is in a single .htm file and displays properly when opened with any browser)
I then click on VIEW.
I then click CONVERT. The input format says it is ZIP (even though it is .HTM) and I set the output format as .MOBI
The conversion runs.
I then VIEW using the Calibre viewer, which opens correctly but there is no formating.... just a bunch of the links from the top of the .htm page, followed by the article itself.
I also just downloaded the mobi reader and same situation...... not formatted, but text is readable.
I can live with this, but given the number of articles I've got to read, I'd prefer a better solution. Or, to know that there isn't a better solution.
