The .imp files can be viewed on a PC by double-clicking them (after having installed the eBook Publisher software from ETI). The EB 1150 will read the HalfVGA (320x480) '.imp' files whereas the larger FullVGA (480x640) '_1200.imp' can only be read on the REB 1200 device (or PC viewer)!

I've figured out how to convert a .lit to .imp, by trial and error.

You can automate this somewhat by following the instructions
here (if you haven't already done so).

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!

Everything is
hard when starting out. Let's try going through some basics:
1) What input files were you trying to convert from i.e. .prc/.pdb/.mobi?
2) Did you see any notice in the command prompt window that is started by the GUI stating that the "EBW 1150 ebook created!" or any other warning/error message.
3) Did you double-click the resulting .imp to see if that is what you expected?

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.

Oh, oh, the .imp file *is* the ebook! I think you converted the ebook, but need to make sure it was successful. Don't look at the '_1200.imp' file as that one is for the 1200. Does this make sense now?
If this still doesn't make any sense, post the input file (if you can along with the .html file) and the resuting 1150 .imp file and I will see what is going wrong.
