As luck would have it, I watched the video on how to edit a book, then tried it myself and it worked fine. Now when I add the .html file of my book to Calibre and convert it to epub format, when I click Edit. all that comes up is a window that say:

"Live preview

Here you will see a live preview of the HTML file you are currently editing. The preview will update automatically as you make changes."

I have tried it about 4 times now with the same result. It seems to convert to epub fine (in fact, it must be converting, because if I don't convert and click Edit book, it tells me the book must be in the AZW3 or EPUB format).

What's even odder is I can double-click my book title and it displays the contents just fine.

Any thoughts as to why I'm not seeing my book now when I click right-click my book title and choose Edit?

Thanks,

Andy
