Djvu to ePub - not really working for me
From archive.org I have downloaded the djvu file ( the only one I could read) of this file: http://archive.org/details/TheGoldenLotusVolIII
It is big (almost 22 MB), when I try to convert it via Calibre into EPub, it takes a good while to become a very small one and nothing shows up. What am I doing wrong? If anyone can do better as for download and actually read, here is the "big" download" link: http://archive.org/details/TheGoldenLotusVolIII Last edited by adelous; 12-15-2012 at 08:54 AM. |

calibre's djvu conversion only supports djvu files that have actual text in them, not just scans of pages like that file.

Actually what it has is pictures of text rather than the actual text stored in the file! A good sign would be the size of the file. A pure text file will tend to be relatively small, while an image based file would be much larger.

I give up - once again .. so none of the files for this book on archive.org is actually downloadable and cannot be read by calibre?

You can convert a djvu file containing images to a pdf file using Irfanview with the djvu plugin installed. Unfortunately, I can't remember the exact details - it was a one off quite a while ago - but you will find all the details buried in this post. And I know it works 'cos it worked for me. Of course, converting a pdf file containing only jpeg images to a text epub file is another story.
