why does html appears as Zip?
Hello to all..
I am using calibre and enjoying cataloging my books but when I add a book with different formats, they come normal except for html, it appears as zip and when I checked my calibre library it was actually in zip file.. why so? and how can I fix it? Thanks for any help I can get. |

This is expected behaviour.
When you add a HTML file, calibre scans it for links etc and then loads the HTML page and all associated files (images, stylesheets etc) into the ZIP file. |

Anyway - the ZIP file is significantly smaller than the unzipped version which is not a bad thing |
