well, since the original mobi files were made with BookDesigner sometimes there are odd things in the code. i'm not being very thorough today but in the output window of eBook Publisher there is a huge list of things i *could* fix, like open tags or text not inside a tag... and in addition, if i were being picky, for example, i should correct the paragraph indent, so that it is made with css and not several non-breaking spaces.

however, the books i am converting today are more or less readable directly from conversion, so, i am only fixing some small details :

1. add a "a name=TOC" tag before the TOC, for those people who like to jump back to it
2. change header to "smallfont" (personal preference) and remove the unnecessary bgcolor indication (since i chose white)
3. move image link anchors to *before* illustrations, instead of after (otherwise, if you click on the link, the illustration is not actually visible, it is on the previous page)
4. close the open <p> tags around the illustrations
5. fix the double <i> tags around the image captions with a ctrl+H replace all

(and 6. fixing the image sizes, but i think you mean specifically with the code).

if you want to see the output results, just do a conversion using mobi2imp and then open the opf file with eBook Publisher, and do "preview".
