I just noticed this.

Yes, both Epubs I mentioned look fine in Calibre's viewer.

I will check out the thread you linked to, thanks.

Edit--I just looked at that thread. Yes, very similar problem he had, with a book purchased from the same vendor. (Interesting too, that the only person responding to him asked him why he wanted to convert, rather than helping with the problem.) As I just responded there though, Kobo does not use a proprietary form of epub, but a standard one. You can see that described on their web site. That is why I bought from them, as so many e-book sellers sell books that will only work on their own devices and apps. The Kobo e-book I have opens and reads fine with different epub readers, including Calibre. But the Calibre converter would not convert it correctly to PDF. (As said, I also tried to convert Calibre's own quickstart guide (an epub) to pdf, as an experiment, and it basically worked, but missing the TOC info.)
