Hi. I think calibre can convert from xml. Unfortunately calibre is not much accessible, but maybe it will work. I have sometimes got it to work and sometimes not. Best regards Annie.

Re: converting files to ePub for reading on iDevices?
Thank you all for your feedback! I'll give stanza a try and see how well it works. I've tried renaming files with the xml extention to html, and it didn't quite work out. I wanted the xml version of the file converted, as this would preserve any formatting attributes found in the DAISY content. As it stands, I'm much more impressed with the readability of files available in the iBooks app, than I am the read2go app. Being able to search text, being able to use the command to move by page, and the fact that braille support just seems better in iBooks are my reasons for choosing it over Read2go. Thank you all again for your responses!

Re: converting files to ePub for reading on iDevices?
Right, you have to open the xml with a web browser, copy the text to the clipboard, and then press alt f to get in to the file menu and choose create new from clipboard. The shortcut keys for various things don't seem to work, but you can access the menu structure through the one that does work, alt f. Then, Just hit alt f again, and go to save as and enter the book name followed by the .epub extention. Also, since iBooks indexes books based on the information you can edit in this program, you need to set the title and author accordingly. Do so by pressing alt V, and then arrowing down to book info. You can backspace out the title of unknown and enter whatever you want. Also note that the next field you get to when tabbing will say genre but it's mislabled. It's actually the author. After saving the file where ever you want, copy it to Dropbox, open Dropbox app on phone, find file, open file, and then go down to the lower right corner of the screen on your iDevice and double tap the export button. Choose to export to iBooks, and then wait. Once the export process has completed, the file will be in your iBooks library and iBooks will open the file for reading.

Hi. I think calibre can convert from xml. Unfortunately calibre is not much accessible, but maybe it will work. I have sometimes got it to work and sometimes not. Best regards Annie.

RE: converting files to ePub for reading on iDevices?
First of all, pardon ignorance again. What is batch conversion? Also as BKS books are daisy but have XML (think that is the correct extension, help?) can I use Stanza on Windows-XP to make them ePUB to put on iPhone and how does the utility start working? Where do I go to get it on Windows-XP?

Re: converting files to ePub for reading on iDevices?
Batch conversion is just when you load up a whole bunch of files to be converted and they all get converted for you without you having to intervene at all after you've gotten everything started.

Re: converting files to ePub for reading on iDevices?
hi, to convert files to epub, I use stanza on the mac. there is also an windows version available. for batch conversion should the calibre tool be an option. I am not shure how you write the tools name. hth Mvg -Peter Durieux Op 4-sep.-2012 om 21:11 heeft Scott Davert scottslistm...@gmail.com het volgende geschreven: HI all.
