Hi! I'm a new user to Calibre. I recently received my first ereader - a Kobo! - but I already have a ebook library. I contacted one of my book sellers to get converted copies (.pdf to .epub) of my previously purchased books and was informed that they have lost my account and could not help me. They suggested use Calibre to convert the books. I have tried this but I end up with 'hidden text' (author name, book title, and page number). I have been told that the 'hidden text' can be removed using regular expressions. This is where I start to get lost. I have found a tutorial and have created the string: (<A name=\d+>\s*</a>)(<i>author name </i><br>|(<A name=\d+>\s*</a>)(<i>book name </i><br>) - for the header and (\d+ <br> <hr>) - for the footer. For some reason it does not work and I have really hit the limits of my computing ability! I just want to read my books without a big page break filled with unnecessary information *sigh*

Is there any way that you can assist me in figuring out what I did wrong?

Thanks!
