hi annie, nope i thought about that when i wrote it , since i can see what is on the monitor now. I turned the monitor off so i was sure that the instructions i gave you would work with voiceover. If it is too geeky for you i might be able too make a script for you so you can say stand in your "download" folder and just have the books made there, instead of coding and copying the files too the other location like i did in the last mail, but if you have any problems let me know and i will happily help you. Note, it seems that epub files are split into chapters where mobi files are just one huge html file. here is a better example, and if you follow that it should work, however if it don't, you are welcome too mail again. in this example i am assuming that your books are in your download folder 1: stand in your books folder with the epub file or mobi file and type the following. cp file.mobi /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS 2: type ebook-convert file and a name of the folder for the book. ebook-convert file.mobi sandi Okay that was the hard part, of course now i am not sure how much bash or as it is called on a mac terminal you are used to use, but this is relatively easy, i believe i have made it so if all goes wrong and you are suffering from an anxiety attack you can just paste the commands in. :) at least that is my intention by writing it as i do. I have used it on 2 books so far and it seems to work okay, to be really honest i was about to find a hack so i could extract the files from the books i have bought before i read about the program on google, so thank you for getting me a kick where it counted:) but again write if it don't work, if you want me to explain it in danish just write me privately and ill happily do so. :)
