Thanks for the explanation.

How do MobileRead members create the eBooks they upload; do they start by hand, using the Gutenberg TXT-files? I can't really believe that, because adding all the tags for paragraphs and such would be a horrendous job. Some of the ePub / Mobi files from Gutenburg that I have encountered are very well formatted though, and would just need to be fine tuned.

I remember using Mobipocket Creator, back in 2008. The program still is on Mobipocket.com, but the library on the website seems to be empty. Is Mobipocket Creator still relevant nowadays?

I imagine that it is not possible to directly edit a PRC, Mobi or EPUB file.

At the moment, I tend to go with the plain TXT files from Gutenberg with regard to the free books...
