Wish I could help... but I just spent a solid Saturday converting my new novel into ePub, LRF, LIT, Mobi, eReader and RTF... then discovered a problem with the text, and had to do it all again on Sunday! My head's sore, too!

I use Book Designer for conversion to LRF, and it drives me crazy too... it's buggy, it messes up formatting upon input, and it requires a lot of manual fixing to get the text just right. I've also recently discovered that the conversion tools I have do not like the 2007 version of Word, meaning I have to convert my texts down to Word 2000 format before they can be used by most of my tools... including BD.

And don't get me started on ePub. I end up doing everything manually, to get it the way I want it (sorry, but Calibre just doesn't leave ePub in a form I want it in, though it does fine for converting to Mobi).

I am so looking forward to some really top-notch format conversion tools... especially for ePub and LRF!
