Which Format to Import?
I have an eBook in PDF and LIT formats. Which format makes the cleanest conversion for a Kindle? Or is that a case by case determination?
And.... let's say I've imported both. Which format does Calibre use for the conversion? I must say I keep finding features I didn't realize in Calibre. Just realized this week I don't need to unzip most archives! Without the program I probably wouldn't have chosen the Kindle. Thanks for all the hard work and support within this forum. |

It seems like the vast majority of LIT files that I run across are badly-converted PDFs, so I usually start with the PDF. Quote:

Ah, that might make a difference then (but then again maybe not < g>). I've been bulk converting a hodge podge of formats on occasion and there's no input option.

Individual conversion mode allow you to override this. Using a format (and settings) will be remembered for each book unless you click the "use (current) defaults" button. |
