I actually don't play much with conversion features. I prefer to keep the books in their original format, but Kobos don't support a dictionary support on mobi formats, hence the need. Although the Calibre has converted my files to epub in fairly nice way, just a little tweaking on chapter headings here and there is needed, which I'll do in due course.

His work is pretty sterling.

I've never tried my hands on Sigil or Kindleimporter before. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll try'em soon. In fact I am left with a shy appetite on learning new software nowadays. I need to gather more courage soon.
