ABC Amber ePub Converter Released
I just picked up the Process Text Group's ABC Amber ePub Converter. It converts ePub files to other formats including:
  • DOC
  • RTF
  • HTML
  • PDF
  • CHM
  • TXT
  • LIT
  • PDB
Italics and em dashes are preserved in most conversions (not in TXT, LIT, and PDB.) For those of us that do not have readers that use ePub it is a quick way to convert those files that are not available in out format and create them. It does not work on DRM files.

Note: This converter does not produce ePub files.

Priced at $19.95 (or less as part of a bundle), there is a free 30 day trial at http://www.processtext.com/abcepub.html

Full disclosure: I am not associated with Process Text Group, I have used their products for many years -- both the free converters and the paid converters.

Calibre can convert ePub to LIT, Mobopcket, and LRF better then ABC Amber ePub Converter. And Calibre does not cost $19.95 either. Plus, Calibre keeps the em dashes and italics for LIT.

Not to worry, you are missing nothing at all.

Agreed. Every time I've used an ABC Amber tool I've regretted it.

When my wife got her 500, I wanted to test it out with eBooks I could make myself. So since it reads RTF, I converted something using one of the ABC Amber converters and ended up needing to reset the 500. The RTF generated was larger and more of a mess then the RTF generated after I loaded the file into Word and resaved it.
