I thought references were "adjusted" when saved to Guess I was , wrong! Pick HTML or EPUB BTW the HTML version text did not "flow" around the pictures nicely at all (looked like the image was sitting in a 1 line saddle ) |

The original PG version you were having issues with ( I snagged the URL out of your problem), I grabbed a PG copy to look inside and marked up the problem area to display here.
Took less than 10 minutes to locate, import,convert, split, and make a reply. Calibre plus Sigil: coolness. |

All the formatting carried out by PG is to mimic, as much as possible, the original book. |

A good example is that Mobi does not allow for text flow around images. Hanging indents will not work. So, I do not change the layout of the book, but try to achieve if in a way common to all RS. I probably never fully suceed. Edit: P.S. PG sometimes has errors too. Last edited by crutledge; 07-11-2010 at 11:01 AM. |

I would guess because it still doesn't work properly with some files. I tried a couple weeks ago to grab the individual books of the KJV as epub format there; every one of them had a serious error that didn't let it display the whole thing (just one page of the actual verses). So although I'm pretty sure I was able to get Secret Garden and A Little Princess in epub just fine, the KJV did not work correctly as an epub. Not sure what made the difference there, but I'm guessing it's due to bugs and kinks like that that they haven't certified it as working great.

All you need to do is install my GuteBook (see my sig for the link) and provide it with the Etext# 24105 and select which formats to produce (.epub, .mobi, .lit, .imp, ...) and customize/filter the html fetched directly from www.gutenberg.org and VIOLA, in under two minutes..... nicely produced ebooks! The snapshots below show GuteBook in the process of creating the attached ebooks : |
