Ebook Conversion
===================
|app| has a conversion system that is designed to be very easy to use. Normally, you just
add a book to |app|, click convert and |app| will try hard to generate output that is as
close as possible to the input. However, |app| accepts a very large number of input formats,
not all of which are as suitable as others for conversion to ebooks. In the case of
such input formats, or if you just want greater control over the conversion system,
|app| has a lot of options to fine tune the conversion process. Note however that |app|'s
conversion system is not a substitute for a full blown ebook editor. To edit ebooks, I
would recommend first converting them to EPUB using |app| and then using a dedicated EPUB editor,
like `Sigil <http://code.google.com/p/sigil/>`_ to get the book into perfect shape. You can then
use the edited EPUB as input for conversion into other formats in |app|.

ebooks, I recommend first converting them to EPUB or AZW3 using |app| and
then using the Tweak Book feature to get them into perfect shape. You can then
use the edited ebook as input for conversion into other formats in |app|.
This document will refer mainly to the conversion settings as found in the conversion dialog,
pictured below. All these settings are also available via command line interface to conversion,
documented at :ref:`ebook-convert`. In |app|, you can obtain help on any individual setting by holding your
mouse over it, a tooltip will appear describing the setting.
