2) If the "html file" you opened is the source, it won't show any change either if you converted to epub. Did you try converting from html to html? The final html should be correct, unless calibre rewrote the wrong Author. If that happened, you just need to reverse the order - fix the author in the calibre database and convert. You wouldn't even need to do the S&R if calibre is overwriting those tags during conversion.
OK, I just did as you suggested and bulk edited the metadata to the correct author. Now I convert the books again, this time to html, yes? :crosses fingers:

OK, so the resulting file is HTMLZ, and trying to open it tells me that Windows can't open the format. What about CoolReader? I don't remember this being one of the formats it reads? What do I do with this file type now?
