I checked the forum to see if there was a similar question to mine, but couldn't find one. I understand why calibre converts a file saved as web page, complete to a zip file since it contains photos and css and whatnot, but why does it to the same thing to a pure html file without any css or images attached? Just a simple html file containing text? The files in question are fanfiction files saved through a fanfiction downloader.

I just tried importing a few files just to check whether I was mistaking simple html files for the ones with images attached, but I'm not.

I also have a problem with the author of the story being confused with the author of the dowloader program when imported into calibre. Looking at the markup of the file, the downloader inserts <meta name='author' content='name_of_programmer' /> into the file which is read as author name by calibre. I could correct this for a few files, but I have thousands of files I plan to import and convert. Is there a way to automate this?

Thank you in advance.
