Nope, converting one digital format to another.

If someone's paying you to convert one format to another, well.
Not for converting one format to another. But for convertig the basic file into different "convertible" files.

Basic files are in DOC (if I'm lucky). They will be converted via RTF to HTML (and no, you don't never ever use Word to "save as" HTML!), which is done with an old version of Arachnophilia.

The source code HTML file will be checked, formatted and revised thoroughly in Dreamweaver, which may take some time. Then this file is formatted for the EPUB version. That file then is altered to fit the MOBI/Kindle version.

The DOC file then gets some formatting to be converted to PDF.

It's not the conversion itself people pay you for. It's for the work of creating files which can be converted to fit the publishers' needs.
