I am sure this must be a simple problem with someone else with more expertise, so I will appeal to you folks for help.

I would like to convert some great children's books from gutenberg to the format for my Sony 505, but no matter what tool I use: calibre, the sony software, or book designer, I never end up with a file that preserves the images. They are not large. Here's is one that I am trying to do:

I downloaded the html file, but no images after conversion, no matter what I do. Other similar files, same problem. I would think it could be done, right?

Any help appreciated. BookDesigner, by the way, wouldn't even let me get to square one...error message. I do have a trial version of Word installed on my PC.

Thanks for the help.
