Transformed CSS selector h|span.msoDel to h|span.msodel
Transformed CSS selector h|div.Section1 to h|div.section1
You have a epub that started its life in MS Word. This often creates very complicated css which is thousands of lines long. It is not hung at 47% as the progress trace indicates it is still working. If you leave the job details open you will see it progress. I have had conversions take 6 hours and many have reported longer.

Don't let the 47% confuse you it could go straight from 47% to complete or it might go to 67% for a while. Have patience it will complete in its own time.

Fortunately these long conversions are the exception and not the norm.
