Converting .doc to epub . . .
Can somebody tell me if it's possible to convert a .doc formatted file to epub, keeping the images. I've downloaded a book unzipped it, but it's a .doc. It has some great images and I want to retain them. I normally use Calibre.

Any suggestions?

In Word, save as RTF. Then Calibre can convert the RTF to epub.

If the RTF method doesn't work to your liking, try using the Microsoft Reader Add-in to turn the doc into .lit format. Then, use Calibre to convert the .lit file to an epub version.

Information on Microsoft Readers Add-in can be found at:
