My thanks, too, for the software. One of my main uses for the Kobo is to read articles captured from such sites as artsandlettersdaily.com-- and now I can do it! It's a somewhat involved process, since I must first highlight the article on the original site and then save it to the clipboard, then save it in WordPerfect or Open Office as an RTF or ODT file, then submit it to the 2epub site and finally run it through thekidintheblock software to clean up the CSS. After all that, it works and displays nicely with scalable fonts in the Kobo. It's not as bad as it sounds since several of the steps can be done in batch mode. The irony is that much of this will probably become unnecessary after the firmware update which is due in the next few days.
