I have had mixed results with Calibre's E-book Editor. I can read and write HTML so I can follow the tags, etc.

But, after I make edits to a converted book, do I just Save-to-Disk, or should I re-Convert it? (am I writing over my edits?)

I have been working with my mother, to convert her newly published family history book, on our ancestors, into an E-book - so much more accessible for everyone.

But, I have found that the only reliable way to preserve corrections is edit the source (MS Word document), and re- convert it.

What are other people finding?
