I've browsed this forum for almost a month now and haven't seen any mention of an IMP-to-Reader conversion tool, yet. Maybe I've missed something, so if anyone has seen anything, please let me know.

That being said, w/o a dedicated conversion tool I've given it a some thought and figured maybe converting to PDF might be the way to go. I have eBook Viewer 2.2 installed on my system and noticed that I can output the book as a PDF. My first attempts, prior to learning more about tools available here, resulted in a PDF with the wrong size specifications and I was originally planning on OCR'ing the PDF so I could output it into an RTF. Unfortunately my final PDF had a few extra "items" in the margins that needed to be trimmed to earn a successful OCR (this was before I found what PDFRasterfarian could do for PDF's; e.g., no need to OCR, etc.).

Anyway, here's to hopng there is some easy "batch method" that can extract the text from IMP (Rocket eBook format) files that I can now use in my Reader (better screen, along with other benefits) or even just plain text. Thanks for your help/suggestions!
