The RTF looks broken in Windows 7's WordPad, it freezes LiberOffice and the conversion crashes under Calibre. Now I understand there might be issues with different encodings between Unix and Windows, but I don't know much about these issues. I downloaded the .zip versions assuming they are more Windows-friendly. Now, how to get the Handbook (and FAQ) to my book reader? Thanks!
