Won't convert- Value Error??? Help
This is my 1st post, please be patient. I have downloaded a few books with no problem but now have a problem with a book with a doc extension. I have downloaded them before with no problem. Same files from the same source.
I download the book. Put it in a Kindle file I set up for downloaded books. I open Calibre and get the book. It goes to the page to extract the files. It lists in my book list like its there. Now when I hit the convert button I get a box that says Error Error Unhandled exception. then Value Error - Couldn't find an ebook inside the archive. I am able to open the book on the computer and it comes up on Word. Thank-you in advance! |

Welcome to our happy group..
Opens in Word . Could it be a DOC file? Calibre does not convert DOC files. You can use Open Office or Word to save the file as RTF, or (stripped) HTML and convert that. |

Thanks so much for replying and I did exactly what you said after hours of trying different things. Then I remembered I had another file that I had to convert to PDF to get the type a readable size. It threw me for a loop because I downloaded 5 books all from the same person and file and 3 came out different. Oh well, I'm a happy camper or should I say cruiser. Thanks again.
