I am looking at ebook-convert now and have a few questions:

1) Is there any particular reason why input and output filenames must be the first and second arguments in the commandline, respectively? It is usual to enter parameters first and only then the filename(s).

2) Output filename should be optional, and a part of some parameter (e.g. --output=my_book.epub) rather than a required argument; the default output format would be defined in the configuration.

3) Parameter -h or --help doesn't work as expected - it requires that input and output filenames be defined and valid before a help is displayed! E.g. to show help I need to do something like ebook-convert.exe c:\somewhere\existing\book.htm x --help
