That seemed to go just fine and I loaded the first converted book onto my Kindle for PC. But when I opened it up it's in blocks of text all run together, with very sporadic paragraphs. Not exactly what I'd call a good conversion. Anything I can do to fix that problem? LabRat: Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.

I've discovered that Calibre converts epub files to Kindle just fine, but it doesn't do WORD. I'll try Text next - the blurb does state that it converts text, so hopefully I shouldn't have an issue with that. With a bit of luck, Amazon will be able to convert the PDF files.
