Hello

Maybe I missed something, but I looked in the faq and it didn't help me.

I am getting a BeBook e-reader soon and so I already started to collect e-books. Most of them (but not all) are in pdf format, but as far as I know, pdf is not the best when it comes to e-readers. So I wanted to convert them to Mobipocket with Calibre 0.5.9. By the way, I am using Windows XP.

There are several strange things with the outcoming Mobi files.

At first I converted a pdf file that includes like 4 images. The first one is the cover, then an image from page 3. The 3rd image is very small, it's just one single word. Then, there comes the ebook itself and in the end, there is another image of the backcover. The strange thing is: after I converted it to mobi, all the 4 images are mirrored upside down.

However, this is not my biggest problem. An even stranger problem (or maybe I missed something simple here) is this: I converted another pdf to mobi. Now, the characters on the first page look strange and hard to read. It is scalable - when I resize the window, the font also changes. It seems as if Calibre thought this page was the front image and converted it to an image. On the next page, it's the same page like before, but this time it is clear in normal characters. I attached an image to show you what I mean. And just to add: I know, pdf is not the best file format when it comes to converting, but in this case, the source file was an rtf file. But I also had the exact same thing with pdf files.

In another case (also pdf) there is a cover image included). In this case, the first page shows the image and a few lines of the following text. And on the next page, the image comes again - but this time it is not scalable.

So, how can I tell Calibre, that I don't want it to convert the first page to the cover ? If there is no image cover included, I don't need one.
