Just replying to say that I have done some experimenting and both are imperfect. I think I am going to stick with HTML unless anyone has any better ideas. I have tried Sigil too and it didn't really help. Can someone point me toward a checklist of things I need to run a find and replace on? So far, I have figured out I need to replace double line breaks with proper <p> and </p? paragraphing, and also check apostrophes, em-dashes and curly quotes and do find and replaces for those. What else? My goal is to go through all these files---thoroughly---one more time and make sure they are as perfect as possible. I will be VERY dismayed to do all that checking on 267 files and then find something else I need to fix! I am at my wit's end here, I am not prepared to buy all these books again just to get a proper epub. I regret ever getting involved int he secure eReader racket. I just want files that will display on all my devices with proper paragraphs and without funny symbols where the quote marks should be. I am prepared so spend some time on the fixing, but not if I get a new reader down the road and will have to do it all again!
