That's what I like to do with Baen books.  |
Book Designer just doesn't do it for me. It requires far too much tweaking per book. I just use libprs500's any2lrf feature, and download the .lit files. that way I get the right metadata, all the images, and I can automate the whole thing with some judicious batch file scripting.
When I convert other books, I do them in OEBPS style, with HTML and a .opf with the metadata.
I have to admit that every so often Baen screws up a book. The .LIT for "New Amsterdam" is full of line breaks in the middle of sentences, which drives me nuts. Sometimes I go in and fix their book in my archive.
