Several times, people have posted questions asking how to convert LRF to some other format. The answer often is "ABC Amber", to which someone replies, "but it does a crummy job of it". It just dawned on me as I have been playing more with Calibre trying to get ePub books in a format that pleases me, that the viewer has done a lot of the work in taking apart the LRF file and therefore that could be the basis of a converted book in ePub format. And once in ePub, to anything else.

Thanks for Calibre. It's a marvel, and looks like it is getting even better.
The viewer parses the LRf into a in memory object model, what's needed is code to transform that object model to HTML
