PI works great


Downloaded a RTF, converted to epub and opened in editor

Had to do a lot of onesie-twosie conversion since I couldn't be sure if there were significant (i.e. anything I cared about) formatting differences and Calibre conversion can be a little over enthusiastic about creating many different classes, even for 'normal' text in the same paragraph

I don't start with a RTF or DOC/DOTX very often, but I'm going to experiment with options just in case. Toxaris has a Word macro that I want to investigate further also to see if it will give me a better starting point

Still without a doubt the PI was a huge time saver

Most of the stuff I reformat is for personal use on my kindle, so I tend to go with minimal formatting and maximum readability.


Spoiler:
