IMP version created using Book Designer

Thanks!
Sure can! This is all I had to do, (the Category, Author and Title all came from that .prc):
Code:
c:\>mobi2imp.exe "Overclocked Stories of the Future Present.prc" Overclocked
I used the new mobi2imp.exe (version 4) compiled windows binaries available at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...48&postcount=3 to produce a EBW 1150 .IMP version of 'Overclocked Stories of the Future Present.prc' and got good results. See Cory Doctorow - Overclocked -Future Present.imp

However, the .prc and .imp you referred to appear to have been built differently with regards to paragraph separation.

Also, that .imp file created by BD used the 'book cover' feature, and as such the 'cover' image isn't referred to in the source .html and my perl script could not add it.

However, since the 'cover' image was included in the .prc, I quickly edited the source .html to add the 'cover' as the first thing after the <BODY> tag with:
Code:
<div align="center"><p align="center"><img src="record-132.JPG" /></div>
Then, using the .opf file, I easily rebuilt it and produce a 'fixed' version. See Cory Doctorow - Overclocked -Future Present_fixed.imp

This .prc to .imp procedure is almost as good as having the original source files!!! I feel slightly voyeuristic.
