Converting to ePub for new Opus
Hi. I have recently ordered the new Cybook Opus and while waiting for it I decided to convert all my ebooks to ePub format.
I have several eReader format books, which I have converted to html using ereader2html.py. I then used Calibre to convert to ePub. Prior to the conversion to ePub I found the ISBN number and fetched the metadata and cover, then on starting the conversion there are lots of options in Calibre. I have selected the Opus as the output format, but does anyone have any advice of what other options I might change? When I converted some pdf ebooks I noticed that there are large gaps on a page where the A4 original would have had a page break. Is there any way round this? I take it I won't be able to convert any of my DRM protected Sony Reader ebooks? Many thanks for your help. |

You can to edit the HTML in the ePUB books to rmeove the space and replace by a page break. I don't know if there's an easy way to do this with Calibre, but at worst you could do it manually - change the extension to .zip, unzip, edit the HTML, re-zip and change back to ePUB.
I can confirm that currently there's no way to removed DRM from protected Sony eBooks. |

The large gaps on the former pdf files result from fixed page breaks. You may have to edit your intermediate html files manually to get rid of those. LRF files: You're right! |

LRF can be converted using LRFTools. LRX is with DRM and cannot be converted. |
