Converting texts for eReaders.

[StoneFrog]

Hey, i got given a eBook reader since im always complaining about reading on the computer and i have started to try my hand at converting left texts into ePub format. My eReader only reads ePub, so its the only format i can convert to. I was wondering if anyone has any experience in this? I got a program called calibre but doesn't do a good job at converting the content.

Even the online store which sells books for the eReader as hardly any leftist books, so i guess if i can convert as many as i can for everyone to use.
Last night i converted Korsch's "The Spanish Revolution" seems to work ok on my eReader, but the online validation to check the file seems to get few errors. If anyone got any tips or such would be great.

You could try this online converter: http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub

It's kinda odd that it's limited to only epub considering that most ereaders are able to read pdf and several other file types... if it were pdf, I'd just tell you to use openoffice, but that isn't the case...hmm.... I'll see if there is a plugin available XD

Cheers, but its got the same issue as calibre. (i think its actually based on the same converter)
the content gets messed up, i think its going to be best to do it all by hand.

I want to convert Capital vol 1, which is going to be hard and long (*giggity*) process.
