Key features
Batch conversion of many HTM files at once
You can convert files singly or in batches. The settings are simple and the interface is plain, so a folder of pages doesn't turn into a chore.
Your original text, images, links and layout stay intact
The converter preserves the text, graphics, images, hyperlinks and layout of the original HTM files, so the eBook looks like the page you saved.
Edit the eBook's name and author, and pick a cover image
Before you convert, you can edit the EPUB's name and author. You can also browse to a picture to use as the cover. Your library then shows proper titles instead of file names.
EPUB files that work on many readers
The output is standard EPUB, meant for Sony Reader, iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch and other EPUB-compatible devices. Copy the finished file to your device.
