I've gone the route that I created a the following comptuer in Virtual Box, VirtWinXPBooks. Its a virtualized installation of Windows XP specifically for downloading, converting, and working on books. Much easier than trying to figure out everything and having to setup everything I reinstall. I've done the same thing with Photo Editing programs on a different install. So far its worked under Ubuntu 8.04, 9.10, XP Pro, Vista Business, Ultimate, Win 7 Beta, and tomorrow I'll let you know with RC once I get it tonight(currently downloading)

All my old comps lying around the house not being used are being useful again.

Just an idea and my solution.
