I found Naomi Klein's shock doctine in pdf. I already own the paper book but I fancied having in on Kindle, with headers & footers stripped so I try a conversion.

I figured I'd start with pdf to rtf so that I could inspect results in word.

after 5 mins , - job details was still still only at 1% so I cancel hob & try pdf to epub instead, figurign I'll check output with calibre internal viewer
after 5 more mins that job is also only at 1% so I cancel it.

( is it nromal for progress bar to stick like that ? )

later, I wonder by my PC has slowed to a crawl & open task manager, I see 2 pdf convert processes STILL RUNNING at 40+ % cpu each, thus both of my cores are being maxed out by jobs that I'd cancelled - how come ?
I kill them in task manager & PC returned to normal.
