Back in the late 00s and early 2010s a bunch of stuff got released as PDF or web pages that is no longer available at all. Stuff like Eclipse Online, a brief incarnation of the Eclipse anthologies that was published as Nightshade Books spiraled into near bankruptcy. I've had those stories saved in Calibre forever, but I hate reading fiction on my laptop or PDFs on ebook readers. Since Calibre has an ebook editor, I figured I would take a stab at converting them to EPUB so I can read them on my Kobo.

I used this text as a guide for what I needed to do for creating proper metadata (can't have books showing up on the Kobo without a title, for instance), formatting and navigation.

Anyway, I now have a bunch of stuff I can finally get off my mountainous TBR and read properly.
