epub conversion error

Hi,

Converted from RAR to EPUB without difficulty. When trying to open the EPUB in either the built-in viewer or the PRS-600 I get the following error:

Code:
ERROR: Could not open ebook: (22, 'Invalid argument')

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm guessing that what was compressed was broken in some way rather the compression itself, am I right or could it be something else? Unfortunately the original archive isn't to hand

Sussed it out, I think. The files were empty. But should it have created them in the first place?

A zero size file typically indicates some sort of crash/improper shutdown.
