Hi - I am new at this and getting very frustrated.
I have written and published a hard-copy book, 440 pages with 220 illustrations, originally in MS Word.
I want to make it available as an e-book, but can't seem to get it to convert.

I have tried converting the .doc file but get an error message right away.

I converted the .doc file to pdf, it converted quite nicely but none of the internal hotlinks worked, which made the file useless in this situation.

I saved the .doc file as html which looked great, converted it to epub and the links work fine, but the images were not converted as they are in many different folders and I can't upload them without hours of work, if at all.

I dl'ed Open Office and converted the Word file to their format, as I heard it was more easily converted - same result, error message as follows:
