Thanks. It did indeed work fine converting one of the eBooks I tested it on, but one of the others I wanted to actually read requires the secure MS reader thing, and it seems like it's impossible for me to activate the software to enable that option.
They have a rather distorted 'audio activation' option, but even though I listened to the activation key around 20 times (and it's rather distorted), it refused to accept the key I was then typing in. Suppose I should have expected MS to irritate me - such is life. Anyway, thanks for the help since it does actually work, but I should have known that not everything else would work.
