Okay, now I'm getting somewhere! I'm able to bring in a very clean PMLZ archive into Calibre. Now it's time for the next two headaches:
1. Cover Page
2. Footnotes conversion

First off, the cover page is always the "cover.png" file, but Calibre doesn't recognize that from the PML. I've put in a suggested fix for that in this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...40&postcount=7

Second, I want to better format the footnotes. They're all lumped together, so if the footnote does not have a unique number, I can't tell which footnote is being referenced. Any chance of adding a page break after each footnote or at least greatly increasing the space between each one?

And while this is a bit off-topic: why in the heck does ePub NOT have FOOTNOTES? Seriously, the eReader/PeanutPress format has had this support for years! Almost every reference book (and many stories) have footnotes. Did the creators of the ePub format just forget?

Okay, I'm off my rant. Thanks for the help guys! With a little more effort, I'll be able to make the new-fangled Sony Reader be nearly as good as the aging Palm TX (Crimony, the e-ink is the only thing going for this guy).
