As of right now, my file conversion in calibre is at 9 minutes for a LIT to EPUB.

I have a couple hundred LIT files. Maybe a bit more, but, you can see where trying to convert these might take a long while. I am using my Linux box in this particular case. Maybe it would be better if I tried it on Windows.

I have not tried to reformat the card and it's possible to reformat the PP? How does one do this?

Oh, and the script I saw for clearing that silly cache and all : Does one load that on the card like a book?

(now @ 13 min for conversion. gah.)

Thanks for your replies, Blossom.
You reformat the card, just like any other attached drive in windows.
"My computer", find the drive, "Right click" the drive, Format (FAT 16 or FAT32 should be the suggested format)


Your Anti-Virus may be working too hard (set exclusions for Calibre and Libraryu folder) and slowing Calibre down (or you have very low RAM installed: 512M or more for XP, 1G or more for later)
LIT takes 2-3 Minutes tops for a big book to convert to EPUB and I usually am over here at MR while that happens
