Hi all, I've been lurking on the board for weeks, but this is my first post. I have an EB 1150 on the way (just returned a Kindle), and I've been trying to learn how to convert some of the different ebook formats into .imp files. I don't know anything about using ebook publishing software, but I'm fairly computer literate.

I've figured out how to convert a .lit to .imp, by trial and error. But I have been trying to use the mobi2imp for literally HOURS today, and I just can't figure it out. Has anyone here written down instructions that a real newbie to all of this can follow? I've looked at the mini-tutorial and help files, and I'm just not getting it.

Thanks in advance to anyone who will take pity on me!

I guess I should add a little more....I do have eBook Publisher installed. When I run the GUI version of mobi2imp9.4, what I'm getting is an .imp and .opf file for both the 1150 & 1200, and a folder with an .html file. All of these files are under 5KB. If I tell it to include the cover, the files are larger and have the cover, but no book.
