Apparently, I'm receiving a Kindle 3 for a birthday present, which is a very pleasant surprise. But I've been reading on my Ipod Touch using Stanza and most of my books are in epub format. I already have my entire library (drm free) in calibre, so it's just a matter of a quick conversion. For the most part, the books are converting well, but I'm running into a couple of problems.
1) When using the Send to Folder option, and it seems if the title/author is too long, the book that gets sent doesn't seem to have the .epub/.lit. Instead it just has the book format listed at the end without a ".". So instead of:
"My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon - Jim Butcher & Kelley Armstrong & Rach Liu & Katie MacAlister & Lilith Saintcro.epub"
I get: "My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon - Jim Butcher & Kelley Armstrong & Rach Liu & Katie MacAlister & Lilith Saintcroepub"
2) When I have a Restriction set in my library and use the Send to Folders option I get an error message:
Quote:
ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:search() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ignore_search_restriction'
Traceback (most recent call last):

But the books seem to be sent just fine, so I'm not sure what the error message is for.
3) I've noticed that when the text-indent is set at a percentage in the input file (usually 5% in an epub or html file), it results in huge indentations in the mobi file. I can manually change the css file to 1.5em, but I was wondering if there was an easier way around this problem.
I am on Mac OS X 10.5.8 and using calibre 0.7.18.
Thank you!
