Let's look at a use scenario: I have 200+ books in RTF format. When reading the book on Kindle I find a typo. Because I'm anal, I want to fix the typo. I'd like to go into Calibre, open the source file, change the typos, save, and rebuild the epub output.

Today I have to open in Word, save the RTF, then save as HTML, then manually add the HTM to calibre which converts it to a Zip file, and then convert to ePub or Mobi.

I'd be willing to use another source file format (such as HTML) but I still have the Zip problem.

If I convert the RTF file, I don't get centering. If I convert to HTML, I get centering but now I have added a file management problem with a source file, plus a couple of interim files (HTM and ZIP), before I get to an output file.
