Thanks Neil, I have been experimenting with PDF and the following,(I copy select all), then paste into Word then format in Word(to my choice or let it go auto), then convert back to PDF with doPDF then with "Calibre" and arrange my own cover with "create cover" and then convert to ePub and it seems to come out really well. You can alter the ePub(HTML) directly in the program "Sigil" and just save it again and send it back to your reader....Both programs mentioned here are open source and very effective.Calibre is versatile. You are able to Google them and download. I just wish they could remove those really useless pointers on the KOBO screen when reading PDF`s, they get in the way of script and serve no practical purpose it appears....John.
