Cool!

Have to take a look at this, I use Mobipocket on my Windows Mobile Smartphone, it's nice but doesn't play well with .doc files.

Thanks Erin, we use it to convert stuff into format for my wife's Palm TX and my iTouch. It is a bit cludgy as you say, but it really does work.

Will it split files?

Will it split large ebooks up into smaller chunks? I use an old sony psp for reading ebooks, and have gotten pretty adept at converting from all kinds of formats over to multiple html files for that purpose. The psp has limited memory, so it can't hold an entire ebook in memory, and it would definitely be interested in a program that would automate the hassle. Right now I convert to html if the format I'm converting from supports good header conversion, and then use an html splitting program to divide it at the headers, or I convert to txt, use a file splitting program to divide it into pieces and then convert the pieces over to html, because the PSP has a wierd issue with displaying pure txt files.

I'm not sure. My wife uses

I'm not sure. My wife uses it more then I do, she uses it for her Palm TX, and I use it with my iTouch, so file size is really not something we run into.
