4 book series PDB conversion, 1 book failing

fuzzycloud · 10-11-2009, 01:55 PM

Hi,

I have a book that will convert PDB>LRF, but not PDB>Epub. It's the 3rd book of a series and the rest convert to Epub fine.

The error log is below. Is there something I can do to get this to work?

Try the --single-line-paras option.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I got the book to convert to ePub and while it views in Calibre and Stanza, it won't work in my reader, it looks like there's a max size limit to ePub.

I guess I'll just leave this one book in LRF.
