Re: Re: MobiBook Conversion was atrocious

Thanks, Tony.  Still lots of quirks when I convert to HTML first.  Perhaps
I am using unorthodox Word features, but still, the conversion to HTML is not
all that much better.  I am not sure it is worth the effort to convert my
source document, which converts 100 % to Adboe format.

My guess is that Amazon is going to lose a lot of potential business, with
this Mobi relationship.
