Make eBooks -> BookDesigner (html0) -> make BD file. The currently loaded book will be saved in BD format. The pictures are embedded to html0 files. Also some user information (as a book title, book author, lang, genre, etc) is included.
The html0-files can be saved with or without compression ("compress file" checkbox). The output filename will be authomatically adjusted in such a way that allows it to be as informative as possible (something like "book author+book serie+book title").

The default path for the books in BD format is "bd" subdirectory of the main BD path. If you want to set your own - Settings -> set path -> click on BookDesigner (html0) and choose a new one in "e-book path" field.

html0 files can be loaded to BD by the double-click on a file.

Also there is a tool (Tools -> Book Organizer) allowing to sort html0 files by genres.

P.S. Saving of the loaded book in hml0 format is the only way to keep it exactly as you see it in BD window while the converting to any another format always assumes some changes. Dependng on the output format, these changes may be smaller or bigger, but they always take place.
