It looks like Sigil to the rescue along with a bit of hand tweaking using winrar and a text editor it may be....

I converted the original .mobi ebook to .epub using calibre, edited it with Sigil and:
- converted using regex's the headings of the Book titles therein from <span> to <h1> and then let Sigil create the corresponding toc.ncx.
- corrected some issues with those foreign characters
- edited the Metadata
- replaced the small cover image with the one from the .lrf conversion.
- deleted the duplicate cover image page
- added a top margin of 0.83em to class ".calibre10" to replicate the para. spacing.
- minor fixes

A lot more labour intensive, but at least the original text is preserved!

What do you think about this .epub conversion?
