okay, I give up on figuring this out for myself. I've been trying to get the hang of calibre, and am having the devil of a time... I have tons & tons of random ebooks in random formats, downloaded from random places (sigh). Calibre gives me a lovely list, and I've been going through and changing mix-ups like title/author switches and the like. Then, I started trying to convert files into MOBI format...

A bunch of them are in LIT format, for example. So, I choose 'LIT' from the format list, and see tons of entries -- yay. However, a good number of them, when I try to convert them, say 'no suitable source format found'... and indeed, when I open the file path from calibre, the folder's empty. Now, I *DO* have LIT files for these books, but they're in other wacko folders nested 3-6 deep...

So, what do I do from here? Do I need to move the ebooks into less-nested folders? Is there some way I can tell calibre to look more deeply? Am I missing something obvious, or not-quite-so-obvious? Should I scrap the whole mess?!? :P
