I have a bunch of RTF files that I want to convert to ePub for reading on my iPod Touch and potentially nook, if it ever ships.

I ran them through Calibre and when I open them on my iPod Touch (takes a LONG time) I get a weird document with a bunch of blank pages, which appears to have a LOT of text on the first page (if you make the font size very small, it shows more text than with a large font, but the following pages are still blank).

If I save my RTFs as PDF's, and THEN convert to ePub, I have no issues whatsoever. Everything flows great and they open very quickly - like a couple of seconds, compared with 15-30 when opening the RTF->ePub files.
