Sweetpea:

I usually use Editpad and change <DIV> To , to , delete all css, delete all scripts, delete or change any to its basic equialent such as instead of its equal.

Then remove most of the tables, along with any "extra stuff" involving pictures usually ending up with just <img src="xyz.jpg">.

Any classes are removed, etc. This gives a very basic,simple, and fast HTML file along with the pictures which I then ZIP into one file. uBook, FBreader, and Alreader all with then display the file withouot needing it unzipped.

Manually is slow and a pain but does give me what I want for storage and use. I thought there might be a script file somewhere that would do this or allow me to modify it to perform at least some of the grunt work.

Guess I will keep doing it the good old fashioned way! Thanks anyway all.
