I need to edit a load of PRC files for a client. The actual content on the Indicia page needs editing, so I need to go in and change the HTML.

I've got ePUB files to do the same to, so if I'm UTTERLY stuck, I could just pull the content from there and throw it through our own creation tools, but I don't want to create extra work - nor do I want to surprise my lovely customer with a larger bill. (Bad business practice, I guess but I'D be annoyed at getting an extra bill).

I'm slightly nervous about using Calibre or any other tool to convert formats back and forth (I thought about just converting the ePUB edits to PRC with Calibre). Knowing how FRAGILE the Kindle is with various types of formatting, I'd rather make the edit myself.

... oh, sorry, I rambled... just go back read the first two paras
Calibre is NOT an editor.
While converting, it can make certain predefined, replacements (removals)
