Just use Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/).
Convert any e-book to RTF. Translate it and convert back (to any format).

I saved you 48 $.

- 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,
