OK, but how to do this, what tools to use?
I try to do this by extracting files from chm, than take "page.htm" file (small one) and put it in Calibre and convert it to ePUB. As a result I get a relatively large file (12mb) with many-many blank pages (except preface and authors). But this result was better than from original .CHM file, when I get only 3 pages ePUB.
When debugging - I find one interesting thing: when converting .chm -"processed" (maybe also "parsed" and "structure") folder was very small comparing with "input" folder so I get 3 pages epub, while converting "page.htm" (<300kb)- "processed", "structure" and "parsed" folders had the same size as "input" folder (all were ~50mb). So if 50mb is processed why I get a 12mb book without content? Is there a problem with output plugin?
P.S. in all cases I use "linearize tables" option in the last - v.0.8.13 Calibre.
Is there something better for conversions?
