Hi Sergei and esperantisto,

- If you are expert users of Calibre it does not mean that others are as well. There may be translators that wish to take a look at how it works before they use it.
- If the Webinar was only about which tools to use, I would not mention them in the description, would I?
- The price is not 48 - the bundle is 48 ;)

The Webinar provides practical information, especially for those who are not IT-freaks like me :)

Happy Holidays to all,
best regards,
Irene

I regularly convert ebooks using Calibre, but... there is severe format loss when converting to RTF, so even if you do translate the RTF, you'd need more than just Calibre to convert it back to a professional looking ebook format.
