Good afternoon all from a long-time lurker, first-time poster.

I'm slowly building up my calibre library as me & my partner are spending more time reading on our Android phones than paper books.

A few quick speed tests on FBReader and the like show epub to be a quicker format for the apps to open than others, e.g. fb2. Whilst I've been adding the books and sorting the metadata and tags, I've been converting batches over to epub.

I don't think this was always the case, but recently it seems that the last job in any batch always hangs. That is to say, if I convert one book, it'll reach 100%, but never complete, and never flush the file to disk. If I convert 30 books, 29 will work perfectly, but the 30th will hang at 100%.

I've tested the book individually with ebook-convert MyBook.pdf MyBook.epub, and all works as expected, so I suspect it's the app rather than the book. If it's relevant, all of my recent attempts have been pdf -> epub.

Anyone seen this kind of behaviour before? Anyone got any kind of curative?

If it helps, I'm using v0.7.10 on Ubuntu Lucid, and despite searching, have no idea where the log file is...
