Conversion appears hung, running for over 48 hours.

This is a continuation of an existing bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1285485

I've already used tools to remove the DRM from the .AZW3 file and after doing so, it's viewable through calibre. I've tried using calibre to convert the .AZW3 file to TXT... (see results below in spoiler). I've tried other online conversion tools, they all error out saying they can't convert the file, but they don't say why. I'm trying to find a way to convert the file to any format that can be impored into a database.

1. Are there some .AZW3 books that cannot be converted to other formats?
2. Is there a way to edit a .AZW3 file?
3. If so, is there something I should look for (to change/remove) to help make it convertible?
4. If someone else is able to convert the file successfully can you please let me know? Any format that either has XML or just regular text would work.

Thanks!

You can't convert books that have DRM...Therefor this book is not DRM'd

An Almanac conversion

You are optimistic

Charts and tables Oh My!
The fact that Calibre has not already crashed is amazing.

Sorry, I've edited my post... should have read ".AZW3" files, not DRM file.
