Thanks for all the replies guys; much appreciated. Yes, I too found that Calibre did a good job at converting some PDFs, but not anothers. There is a commercial application however ( I think it is called ' PDF to ePub converted ' ), that does a beautiful job at converting PDFs, but it costs about $ 30/-

Is it worth buying such an application?
Any idea why some of the books I drag into the Sony come out titled ' no settings ' ? Where do I have to go to edit this to give it its proper title and author?
I am only now going through the manual. It says that we can put our books into collections. Is this easy to do?
What are periodicals, and where can we get some free periodicals from the net?
Thanks for the great help.
