Can't convert un-dedrm'd mobi to epub

suecsi · 12-10-2009, 04:06 PM

Calibre won't convert my de-drm'd Mobipocket file to epub (or anything else) as apparently the file is corrupt (kovid has confirmed in the ticket). When I run mobidedrm on the original I don't get any errors. The Un-drm'd version imports into Mobipocket, reads the metadata and shows the cover etc, but then crashes Mobipocket when you try to open it.

Other books I have downloaded at the same time are fine.

Any ideas?

The DRM removal scripts are good, but they don't work 100% of the time. Other than to recommend that you ensure that you have the latest available version of the scripts, I'm afraid there's little more to do. We can't give you explicit help on using these tools here at MR - I'm afraid that it's against the site policy to do so.
