Hi Guys

Im relatively new to Calibre but have absolutely fell in love with this program and in reality, probably only use about 10% of its power. Everything so far has been self taught and quite intuitive. I do have one issue with book importing that I haven't quite found the ideal way to resolve. So I will try and explain as best I can and please excuse my english because it has been translated for me.

I have recently received some ebooks that are in a RTF format but along with the RTF is a RAR file with the same filename as the RTF so for example.

GoodBook.RTF and
GoodBook.RAR

So the rtf is just what you would assume it to be.. the bulk text of the book.

The RAR on the other hand has 3 pictures in it.

FrontCover.jpg
BackCover.jpg
Map.jpg

When the RAR is imported using (ADD BOOKs) it is detected as a CBR file. As I understand it that is a comic book file and must be because it is only pictures.

I have tried importing the cbr along side of the rtf so that they both reside under the one library entry - no good

I have tried adding the rtf to the rar before import and convert to epub - no good

I have used Word to edit the rtf and add the 3 pics from the RAR onto the first 3 pages of the RTF, then import and then convert - works but is not elegant or timely.

So my question is how is the best way to use these 2 files together in the least amount of steps with the greatest usability.

Thanks in advance for your advice and solutions.
