One book that Calibre can't convert - is there hope?
Hopefully this isn't a double -the first time I clicked "Submit" nothing appeared to happen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I finally took the plunge and converted all my 1500+ ebooks to the same format with the wonderful Calibre. About 1100 of them were from my little Palm Centro with its 4cm*4cm screen. I was especially looking forward to reading one particular book on the (relatively) giant screen of my Sony reader. Of course, Murphy's Law came into effect - that .pdb file was the only one that could not be converted. Is there any hope for it, or will I have to read it again on the Small Screen (where, I just checked, it displays perfectly)? Regards, Jochen Spoiler:

The PDB input plugin in calibre hasn't seen any development in a long time, so it's unlikely.

Non-DRMed books have 2 or 4 as a version, not 3. Could it be a DRM-infested book? If so, Google for 'Apprentice Alf' and follow the instructions found there for eReader format books.
