This is the first time I've experienced this:

I'm attempting to use Calibre's "remove spacing between paragraphs" feature for a Mobi book that is 16MB in size, quite large. It's the "Collected Works of Balzac" I bought last December. Calibre begins the conversion, but then stops at 47% progress, even though the "Jobs" wheel continues spinning in the lower left hand corner and the "Status" tab says it's still working. After up to 12 minutes I stop the process because it always gets stuck at ... 47%!

I even try converting the same book to ePub with the same parameter but the same good old "47%" roadblock occurs.

I've done a search about Calibre book-size limitations in their documentation and these forums, but so far no luck, or I overlooked something.

Is there an other way to convert/modify very large ebooks? Do I let Calibre's conversion run until it eventually finishes the large task? Or has the book size exceeded the program's limits?

I have enclosed a text file of the last log of one of my conversion attempts (over 10 minutes) in case it can help solve my problem.

Thank you in advance.
