FBReader handles ePub, Mobi, and FB2 native, and PDF, DjVu and CBR/CBZ viia plugins, so I mostly don't have to care what format a book is in. (It does not handle titles with DRM, but I don't get those, and again I don't care.)

Worst case, once it's in ePub, I can bring it up in Sigil, an ePub editor, and fiddle. (Sigil's main use here has been adding working tables of contents to volumes which lacked them.)

Wait Drjd, Dennis:


What about using Doug's (Diapdealer) plugin? The one that will import a MOBI into Sigil and open it? From thence to ePUB, etc.? Doesn't he have one like that? (I know, I know, I should know more about the available plugins, as we use Sigil and all that, but as you can tell, we have a pretty straight path when it comes to our work, but I know that the Kindleimporter probably works AWESOMELY, knowing Diap. His work is pretty sterling.
