Hard Finding Books?

jerryleejr · 07-04-2008, 07:58 AM

I was just curious if anyone just couldnt find a title for their Reader that was convertible? The reason I am asking is some of the titles I am looking for are ebooks but are in mobi or Kindle formats, I always try and find lit first but like today I got my email from TOR and the formats were PDF or Html, I know I can use Calibre on either of these but I have found that PDF is hit or miss with formatting and for some reason the HTML file wont convert.

When you say that the HTML version won't convert, do you mean that Calibre is throwing an error? Usually, if it is a parsing error or similar a trivial bit of hand editing will fix that problem.

Shout if you need any help with that.

Could you try the conversion again and copy/paste the program output into a reply post?

Sorry for the late reply. Was distracted from the web for a couple days.
