I add an html, calibre says its a zip!
UPDATE:
Oh, never mind. The zip converted to a mobi just fine. *************** End update ************* I'm embarrassed to ask b/c I know I must be missing something really simple. I have a book in html format. I can read it in a browser so I know it's truly an html doc. I add it to Calibre and it comes in a a zip! The zip file contains the original html; a META-INF folder, content.opf; and mimetype. How can that be? What am I missing? I want to convert it to a mobi; but how? Thanks, CL Last edited by clittle; 03-16-2013 at 11:25 AM. |

I'm not sure what you perceive the problem to be. Calibre stores HTML books in a ZIP file, because generally speaking you'll have multiple HTML files + images. The ZIP file is just a container to keep them all packaged neatly.
Why do you object to the ZIP container? |

And to answer the question:
Click CONVERT Since you only have the HTML (Zip), the input will be preset. Set the Output to Mobi. Make any other setting changes and click OK (wait ) |

The reply was a bit condescending - I agree. But - I had the same problem, I googled, saw this response - and it helped! So thanks for asking, thanks for responding.
BTW I am an IT professional - but was still confused! as would be anyone who is not the author of Calibre!!!! |
