done


But this does not work when I substitute the old calibre command (any2mobi) for the new command ebook-convert.

I get a bunch of python errors -

Python function terminated unexpectedly: Input file must have an extension
Traceback (most recent call last):

return getattr(pmod, func)()

File "site-packages/calibre/ebooks/conversion/plumber.py", line 594, in __init__
ValueError: Input file must have an extension


I'd be very grateful if someone could help me fix my problem, thank you.
You're aware that the command line syntax of any2mobi and ebook-convert is different, are you?
