O&A EBook Converter

This tool takes the O&A database files and converts them to .epub files. These files can be loaded on computers or tablets for access at events.

The ebook format is popular among heralds who were accustomed to working with the printed O&A (1970s–2000s) as they allow for the same basic use cases.
