Thank you. That looks to do what I want. It does not produce the exact same results as ebook-convert but ignoring formatting and white-space issues its is extremely close. I tried it on about 1000 books and the worse case was still 99% similar and the vast majority of them were over 99.9% similar.

Also only takes about 1/20 of the time to call ebook-convert.

Thanks again.
