I have a lot of ePub and PDF ebooks that I want to convert to MOBI for my Kindle Fire. The thing is that when I convert with Calibre it makes an entire folder for the converted file, so what I need help with is a way to make Calibre convert the file to MOBI but just that! No folders no nothing just the end result, the converted ebook to mobi. Is there a way to do that?
I don't have an appropriate file handy for testing, but you might try 1. adjusting the Preferences -> Import/Export -> Saving Books to Disk -> Save Template option or 2. using the command-line converter as documented at ebook-convert ? calibre User Manual , if you can stand to do so (might be difficult if you have complex options).
Any book, the moment you put it into Calibre, will be given folders. Calibre is ebook management library, so it auto-sort when you put a book into it. When you convert a book, it will be put into the same folder under the same author (depends on how you set it).
If you don't want any folder at all, why don't you use online converter? Or you can use mobireader to convert it :)
I don't think you can do that it makes the folders because it need them; that’s how the program organizes the books and authors. When it creates a folder four files usually go into it.Quote:

4 & the metadata opf files.
If you delete the folders you’ll still have to keep all the content of the folders or else all the tag, series, publishers, ratings and so on will disappear, that stuff is in the metadata files & the covers they would disappear too. They don’t work like rar files where everything is inside the one package, although that would be cool if it worked that way.:)

Open Calibre and select the preference tab, then go to run welcome wizard. select the kindle e-reader brand when you setup you options. hope that fixes your issue.:)Quote:

As for myself, I have seldom tried to make Calibre convert the file to MOBI. I wonder have you ever worked it out? Do I need another 3rd party manual toolkit? When it comes to PDF conversion process, I have another question, I wonder have you ever tried to convert pdf to other image files before? As for myself, I am testing the related PDF to PNG converting , PDF to BMP converting , and PDF to JPG converting programs these days. Do you have experience about it? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
