For the record I had one epub - epub conversion last week that had been running for 5 hours when I went to sleep. When I woke up it had completed successfully (I never did look at the jobs detail to how long it ended up taking) and the book looked fine. This is the exception since most epub - epub conversions take less then 30 seconds.
thanks much for this info.... when I woke up and it was sitting on a job at 1% at 380 minutes with 75 jobs undone, I had pretty much assumed it was all over, and just killed it.

what would make a book "difficult" to take so much time? Images? Most text processing is near instant

Also I've never converted epub - epub, what is the purpose of doing that?
I just try to get out of old formats that I either have no reader for or that won't reflow for my phone, i.e, pdf and chm

umm, you think I could do a pdf to pdf conversion for a roll of the dice on maybe fixing some issue?
