(Of course, I can -- and have -- downloaded entire Gutenberg books in the txt format, copied to my word processor, edited out the unwanted 90% of the material(!), then save back as an abridged txt file and converted it to html then to Mobipocket, as described in my initial posting. Very convoluted, indeed!

Anyway, my failed experience with the Adelaide titles seems to ALWAYS be the case, so I suggest that you just download from their site any title you want and see what the problem is and hopefully rectify it. Again, many thanks, and regards, Jim
Kovidgoyal: Have you had an opportunity yet to follow up further in this matter? You seem to be coping with quite a few other queries of probably more pressing need at this time, so I'm really in no special hurry. Thanks and regards.
