I uploaded the file for a novella I wrote, in odt converted to docx, to Draft2Digital for distribution to retailers for sale. As part of their service D2D provides downloadable files of your book in epub, mobi and pdf format. I tested the downloaded epub with Adobe Digital Editions, and it read fine, including the cover. Thinking mobi was still Amazon's proprietary format, I tested the mobi file with the Kindle Previewer, and was surprised to see the mobi converted to epub. It also read fine, including the cover. I tested the pdf file with Adobe Acrobat, and alas the cover was missing (apparently it wasn't included in the downloaded file.) As discussed in another thread I added the cover using Adobe's editor, which compared to any text editor/word processor I have ever used was unbelievably hard to use - even for a task as simple as adding an image to the file. Thinking I might have a need to edit the text some day, I tried that but gave up, it was so difficult.
