Re: error: 'ereader2html.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command...


I'm in the same boat. I bought some books from Barnes & Noble (pdb format), am trying to get them onto my ibooks - where I have all the rest of this particular series.

Here are the steps I followed:
1.Install Python.
2.Created a directory for all the python stuff (c:\python26)
3.Copy ereader2html.py to the working directory.
4.Copy Say.pdb file to the python26 directory.
5.Open File Explorer and navigate to the working directory.
6.Right click an item in the list on the left and select "Properties".
7.Highlight the directory information after "Location:". Right click and select "Copy".
8.Open command prompt (in Windows).
9.Type: "cd " (no quotes needed) and right click to paste the directory information you just copied, and hit enter. (cd C: )
10.From command prompt, enter the command as documented:

ereader2html.py say.pdb outdir "My Name" 1234567812345678

And then I receive: 'EREADER2HTML.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Is something that I am doing wrong?

I've double checked and my python directory is off the root. I've tried both the C:\ereader.... and C:\python26>ereader.... with the same results.

Thoughts?
