Hi, Mark and all,

Yes, and it doesn't work either. Interesting. So it's probably not the brf 
format that's causing the trouble.

Have you tried any other converters? I can't seem to get the hang of Calibre in 
command-line. I think I'll try one of the online conversion tools and see how 
that goes.
