Yet another AZW3 weirdness

I download all books I purchase from Baen in epub format. I'm in the process of converting a number of these books to azw3 format for my Kindle Fire and there have been no problems, until last night.

I've got a long list of Honor Harrington series books I'm *trying* to convert and I'm having problems with converting from the GUI. The books convert without any visible errors, but when displayed all I get is the cover graphic and many, many, many blank pages in the calibre viewer. If I try to look at the file on the Kindle, all I get is the spinning busy cursor. I've even tried re-downloading the epub from The Fifth Imperium site with no luck.

I did say I couldn't get the file to convert the GUI. From the command line, I was finally able to get it to convert successfully by first converting the file EPUB-EPUB and then EPUB-AZW3.

Can someone download the epub from:

http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/2...tion/index.htm

and tell me if I'm crazy or not?

I've tried this conversion with the first 4 or 5 epubs on this CD with no success from the GUI and readable files from the command line.
