Hello all.

First of all, if someone can help me with this issue, I will be donating at least $20 to Calibre because of how awesome it is. (I am trying to use calibre for 1 specific task which is below, if I can get it to work, it would be worth the money at that point)

1. General description of the problem

I am trying to convert large files (kindle ebooks) into PDF or really any format that I can view on any device. Calibre seems to work just fine with smaller files, but with larger files, it seems to fall a part.

2. I need a solution to convert large files

3. The file you are trying to convert. If the file is copyrighted then create an extract/sample that shows the problem, or use the calibre bug report system to create a private bug with the file attached.

The file I am trying to convert is a test file I downloaded from Kindle.. its the oxford dictionary, and its size is 26 mb. I can't upload it because it is too large. But if you go to the kindle store, you can download the dictionary for free and try it at your place

5 The output file, if any.

No output file, just the standard kindle version of the file

6 A description of what exactly the problem is. If there is an error message when converting then the full error message, which you can get by clicking the show details button on the error message.

See 1

7 A description of any conversion options you changed from the default

I just installed calibre, and used the DRM plugin to remove DRM (or DMRs, whatever it is).

Thank you all in advance!
