RE: Re: Automating creation of eBooks in Mobipocket format

Yup, noticing the same thing. 
 
It looks like it will be fine with a novel but with anything else, the converter doesn't seem to know what to do about it.
 
I have started experimenting with getting my illustrated children's e-book converted but the results were not very good.
 
My next step is to try recreating it Word and see how the conversion process goes that way and investigate the graphic novel method.
 
I know my experiences (and book for the moment) are probably unique, I can't find anyone else doing what I'm doing. 
 
I'll probably end up trying to get a hold of somebody to see if my book is even possible to be converted to their format.

But I must confess it's been a year since I tried it.Looks like a great tool for narrative novels but not so good for reference manuals, bulleted instructions, etc. Anyone else had this trouble?
