I've been trying to convert some plain PDFs with Mobipocket creator.

I often get a "Import Failed" message with no explanation of why it failed (does this refer to a specific error? Is there a way to get to more information?)

Or if I strip the PDF down to the simplest of files, made of nothing but a series of JPGs it will often convert but then it will not show up in the Emulator (Kindle or any other, it's simply blank). But it will show up in the MobiReader :S

I'm not really sure what's happening here or what I'm doing wrong.

Do the JPGs have to be a very specific size and format?
