RE: Automating creation of eBooks in Mobipocket format

I have been making both encrypted and unencrypted Mobipocket (prc) files for
several publishers for about five years, using Mobipocket Creator and its
predecessor. I have never had a problem with formatting not rendering or
graphics not staying in place. That may be because I start with a 'clean'
html file, lacking any of the more sophisticated formatting like curly
quotes. I've even used tables on one occasion and they came out fine in prc,
except that I had to do some minor tweaking to make them look good on a
small screen.

I truly believe that the more extraneous code you have in the file you begin
with, the better your chances of getting a resulting mess are.

By the way, it usually takes me 5-10 minutes to build a prc file with
Creator, and that's because there's a lot of metadata to input.
