It's one of the reasons I asked... to see how soon I can cut back on my workflow! To answer your question, I create a tagged PDF of the original Word doc (written in Word2007). Then I convert the document to a Word2000 doc for some of my older conversion apps. Then I use the 2000 DOC file to create the PRC, PDB, LRF, LIT and RTF formats, using a separate conversion app for each. Then I create an HTML file out of the original doc, parcel it into multiple pages (one per chapter) and use that to manually assemble an ePub file.

Then I go get a drink... by then, I need one!

For my eBookwise, I like the RTF version as it converts easily to IMP.

For my Sony, I have experimented with converting the RTF using Calibre, and reading the ePub. Either version works well.

The poll is multiple choice, so if you like both, you can just go with options 2 and 5. (or 3 and 4, as the case may be).
