I used to be able to just runt e converter and off I went, but lately the ereader files I have tried have needed much more work. I don't know if the eReader people have changed something or what, but the punctuation if often variable as people have said, and the text is always centered. I used to run a complex conversion whereby I exported it to epub saved it as RTF, tidied up the RTF then saved it as HTML again. But lately, that isn't working either---I am getting three lines between paragraphs every time. I have tried editing these out in Konpozer and sometimes it works and sometimes it does not because there will be too much extra formatting that has to be taken out manually and I just don't have the time.

I did some playing around with RTF today. I had to set the font to 16 for it to even be readable, it didn't justify and the files were massive. I am at my wit's end here. I have about 15 books I want to convert. Ideas, please? I am on a Mac if that helps.
