Ebook Adventures, Instead of Listings

OK, so maybe this is becoming more of a blog than a "Listings" site; so be it.

Heh, had to laugh:  got an odd email from Amazon that i would have to send them verification of my Canadian citizenship to continue getting books from their Canadian site.  (I had only borrowed one book from that site, through Lendle, and i'd switched my address to Canada to do so.)  But i had already switched my address back to the U.S. — their internal data coördination obviosly leaves something to be desired — so i switched my country-setting (somewhere within the Kindle settings) back.

And have been having more fun converting another Amazon Topaz ( .TPZ ) book to a .AZW3 (and perhaps to a .MOBI if i feel like it).  The TOC (Table of Contents) conversion has a little trouble; but Calibre allows a final tweaking of the TOC before the .AZW3 file is written, and i was able to add Glossary, Bibliography, & Index to the TOC.

By the way, keep an eye out for Russian sites (like http://fitzgerald.narod.ru/zelda/waltz.html ) — there are some nice texts stored online!
