Anyone know how to convert IMP files

jckatz · 01-23-2008, 11:12 AM

I came across an ebook in the IMP format but I can't figure out how to convert it.

Fictionwise lists the IMP file as
OEBFF Full VGA [.IMP]
OEBFF Half VGA [.IMP]

A little further research and I find the OEBFF stands for Open Ebook file format. So I am kind of shocked that I can't find a converter for it.

I believe that IMP is a dead end format. By that I mean that you can create IMP format books but you cannot do anything with the IMP format except read them. I have never seen a converter that took IMP as an input.

I know that all of the ebooks that I have posted at MobileRead in IMP format are also available here in Sony/BBeB/LRF format so no conversion is needed for your Sony PRS-500.
