New to Community and Epub Conversions = Lost

Matimio · 12-17-2011, 07:57 PM

Hello,

I am new to this online community, and the community of ereading. I actually decided to buy a tablet because I saw a sample of an Arabic to English dictionary that I lug to school every day with me, and I want to run it on my Ipad2.

Before I realized I can convert doc files to epubs I was talking with a professional service about converting the dictionary. I still may want to do this because it has both Arabic and English in it, and I would like it to be easy to navigate since it is something like 1000 pages (regular text).

Basically I am very lost in this process, I was able to make a conversion to epub with Caliber, but the Arabic letters did not show up proberly, and it was not easy to navigate, I am presently on my second try, and we will see how it turns out.

I think that I would prefer to find someone who is willing to convert it for me, so if anyone has any ideas of how to go about this, or where it is appropriate to post a request for that in these forums please let me know. Thank You!
