Hi!

Nick : I'm writing an article on media conversions for the Kindle and would like to devote some of it to your PDFRead application if that's okay with you. I was wondering something though... would it be possible to expand the program a bit so that it would take HTML files as well? In other words, since PDFRead is essentially a two step process (or three with unpaper) where you 1) extract HTML from PDF and 2) create .prc file from HTML, would it be possible to allow for people who already have the HTML (extracted from, let's say, a .CHM file or saved via a web-browser) and have them skip step one and perform only step two? This should get double the audience for your app!

Regards,

Anthony
