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?
The edited book IS the book within the Library.

If that is the format you need, treat it like any other book you want to read on your device.

Only convert to a different format ( delete the original_* format once you are satisfied your edits are good as that will be used if you accidentally convert again, stomping on your good edits. it exists in case things go wrong.)
