Mobipocket Desktop to get enews in ePub?
Hi,
I usually enjoy reading full-content enews retrieved from Mobipocket desktop. It is very fast and reliable. The issue is Mobi produced .prc files which has less support from many ereader devices. So it would be nice if Mobipocket can produce enews in ePub as well. I know Mobi is a dead product with no further enhancement; but is there any work around solution? I tried Calibre, an excellent universal software, which can also retrieve full-content enews in ePub format. The problem is Calibre always drags my PC/notebooks (Dual-core 1.66Ghz, 1.5GB memory) until it is unusable, not responding, freeze, etc.; even I set the priority to low, during retrieving my enews. I cannot even abort the process because my notebook would not respond to the keyboard. Would appreciate any recommendation. |

Convert the MobiPocket eNews from MOBI to ePub using Calibre. Note that if the file is .prc you will first have to rename it .mobi.

Why do you have to change the extension? I've had no problem converting .prc files to ePub, just curious if changing to .mobi is something I should be doing for some reason.
