And here is a good starting tutorial from Jedisaber: http://www.jedisaber.com/eBooks/formatsource.shtml .

There's another very good fundamental tutorial around here somewhere that I constantly manage to forget. I hope someone will pop in and mention it.

I am loath to disagree with Peter, but I'd strongly urge you not to use Calibre if you are just starting out. If the book is for your personal consumption, then, that's fine, but if you're trying to make a commercial book, you need to step through some basics so you know what to do when your content does not come out as expected.

Hope that helps,
