 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|.

-This document will refer mainly to the conversion settings as found in the conversion dialog,

-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.
