Project Gutenberg

You're right: Calibre is pretty quick to do this.

However, I like to tweak a little my new ebook before installing it on my reader, i.e. add an image cover, check the "contents table" which is often mixed up, make a nice looking title and so on. So, on the way doing this, I add my little OpenOffice macro playing in its 9x12 cm format..

After that, there is a choice :
- export as a PDF
- using calibre for any other format.

The MOBI books I've imported so far work perfectly (Du côté de chez Swann, Marcel Proust)

In WordPerfect (I have the X3 version) it's relatively simple to create a macro to accomplish this in the blink of an eye. I have a version of Word 2007 but I've never checked out the macro capabilities. I'm sure they're there. (I'm not a fan of Word, so I don't use it much. Still prefer WordPerfect because it allows me to look at the underlying codes and use them whenever appropriate in macros.)
