I downloaded Calibre yesterday and have OSX Snow Leopard. I added a downloaded Google Books PDF to convert to MOBI and it looks like everything works. Says it is converting, but seems to convert TOO fast for a complete book. Says the conversion is complete. But when I try to open the MOBI file, all I have is the Google Introduction. I tried removing the introduction and book cover pages in the PDF. Imported and tried again and it says it is complete (very quickly) and then it is only page 1. I don't get any error messages.

I tried more than one file, thinking maybe it was just that particular book.

Is there a problem converting the PDF downloads from Google? I tried searching the forum, but didn't find anything close.
