MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Issues converting Web HTML docs to ebooks

I've been pasting longer HTML docs into Word, creating a TOC, then saving as Filtered HTML, then using Calibre Add-Book to create EPUBs for reading on my Kobo WiFi. Suddenly, perhaps with Calibre 0.7.43 or .44, all the HTMLs get added as ZIPs. That requires an extra conversion, ZIP to EPUB, and litters directories with extra files. I found that even a one-paragraph HTML doc gets ZIPped when added by Calibre.

Any way to have Calibre Add-Book default to EPUB?

I am not sophisticated with HTML and really only know how to use Word to create simple HTML.

Calibre is otherwise terrific and I'm donating $50 right now!
