I had to take the time to work out a specific sequence of conversion steps, to shorten what started out as a 3-hour process into less than an hour (not counting pre- and post-checking the content, page by page).

I do, however, admit to having problems with the HTML editor, which can be twitchy and sometimes creates unneeded breaks even as I delete them! I eventually simplified my issues by opening the entire book into the HTML editor, then copying and pasting the HTML into Dreamweaver to do the HTML edits there... then pasting the new HTML back into the BD HTML editor, and applying that to the book.

My result has been excellent Sony Reader LRFs, including covers and an "also available" section in the back of each book, and I've converted my entire catalog!
Do you spend most of that one hour in editing the HTML?
