I know that the answers to these questions are probably tucked away somewhere on here, but you're all so knowledgeable (insert random animated gif of an ass-kisser here) you can probably save me 2 hours of searching.

Anyway, 505 & Calibre questions coming up:

1. Is there a way of adding a font zoom level to the 505 which lies somewhere between the 1st and 2nd default levels ? ie. Just a bit bigger than the smallest text but a bit smaller than the second.

2. When I convert books using Calibre, I end up with a folder containing the converted (I convert to epub) file along with the original file in whatever format it was. ie. If I convert "Josef Fritzl's cellar conversion handbook.lit" I will have a folder containing both the .lit version along with the .epub version. Is there a way to have Calibre delete the original after conversion ?

3. Why do I end up with a .zip archive after conversion, and can I delete it ?

4. Using Calibre, I have edited the tags to contain the authors name. However, after sticking the card in the 505 they don't appear under "Collections" on the main menu. While typing this a thought has just occurred to me, could it be because I have inserted a space in the authors name ?

Many thanks in anticipation of all the many hundreds of you calling me a "n00b" and telling me to "RTFM".
