Would you want me to send zipped files of all the files/folders that is 
currently on the libreoffice-na.us domain?
It would be quicker than trying to download every file one at a time.  
Of course, you should have FTP access to the files.  I think I did give 
that access to you.  Every time I think I am "out of sync", I just 
download, via FTP client, the whole site back to my local drive.

That is how it is done.  Casual conversations about one thing or 
another, then LibreOffice is mentioned.  Elmira's city computers all 
currently use free graphic packages, so the IT person told me a few 
years ago.  Since they use a free package for one or more of their 
needs, I think they might be willing to give a free office suite a try.  
The why pay a fee when you can get an office suite for free, that is as 
good or better than the one your are using now.  Then every time that 
have to replace a "broken" or "too old" computer, LibreOffice will save 
them the fee to purchase MSO.

Does Calibre have an extension for OOo/LO?  I have not really used it 
yet.  I do have a sister that was "big" on getting an e-reader and 
e-books instead of paper versions.  I started looking for free books for 
her back then, but never dealt much with it myself.
