of course. i would have the same problem, if i had a lab. not that i have one, mind you.
as for my favorite chair (sorry, i mean the cat's favorite chair...) usually i have to share.  |
Thanks, so epub it is then. I dimly grasp but didn't really understand your comments about editing out hard carriage returns etc - sounds a bit techie for my level.. I just want to read stuff, not grapple with technical editing issues if I can avoid it. If I've got dozens of ebooks with messy-looking formatting (which I have), it would probably be a big project to tidy them up. But let me be more specific: using Calibre for converting file formats, if you go to the
Set Conversion Defaults tab /"Look and Feel" - there are options to tick eg
Remove spacing between paras, no text justification, etc - which settings do I want?? And in "Chapter Detection" - do I want to "
Force use of auto-generated Table of Contents"?? Yeesh..
