Another Day in Ebook Land

Mmmm, borrowed another seven books from the library.  And gained some experience in converting an obnoxious format, Topaz ( .TPZ ), into Mobi ( .mobi ); fortunately Calibre (that free life-saver of a program) can deal better with Topaz now, after a recent update.  Calibre also lets you tweak a Table Of Contents when it's making a .AZW3 file, but not without the occasional problem.  (And there's now a link to Calibre in the list to the right.)

Also, a recent public domain collection (as a .azw3 file):
