I don't know if extract & rebuild, or converting yields the better results. I've never had problems with the extraction up until now.



I don't use the original file option. After I've fixed up an EPUB like I want it, it never changes apart from inserting metadata from Calibre into it. The EPUB I create/fix is the default format.
Thanks for the reply. I was unaware of the KindleUnpack plugin. Might try it one of these days.

I'm a compulsive backer upper so the original file option makes me happy. I do occasionally reconvert a fair number of books when I get crazy and decide to read on my Aura HD for a change. (the time spent converting the books is probably longer than the time I will spend using the Aura HD before my patience runs out)
