Stephen, Thanks for the tip. It seems calibre outputs not to html, but to txt formatted files. In the past I've written code to convert Quark (Apple) to html, so this functionality is something I might be able to provide (given, of course, enough time in my life for it). Checking through the dependencies for the latest version of calibre, I see that centos (v.5.4 updated just moments ago) doesn't provide all of what's needed. If you're running calibre on centos 5.4, which version? Thanks again for the info. ken On 01/02/2010 03:40 PM Stephen Harris wrote: > On Sat, Jan 02, 2010 at 03:32:48PM -0500, ken wrote: >> Thanks for the info.
