This is great work - thanks for all your effort, this program may well convert me from buying a Gen3 to getting the new 505...

Can I have some clarification on zip files please.

I assume I use zip files for sending more than 1 file to the converter (multiple html's for example), I can also add an opf file that then tells your software in which order to add the multiple files.
I read earlier that the 'Spine' area of the opf in used for the file order - are the rest of the areas in the opf file ignored? (the 'manifest' area for example)

Can I use this sytem to insert a cover image? I presume I can create an html file containing a link to the cover image I want, add both the file and my image to the zip, then add the name of the html file to the beginning of the 'spine' area of the opf file. I have tried this but it does not work: is there a maximum size (in dimensions or Kb) that the cover image I am using can be?

Thanks for all your great work!!
