This is my first conversion experience. I saved a list of 170,000 scrabble words as a txt file and then dragged it to the device button. When asked if I wanted to convert, I selected yes. I'm converting to epub.

It's been close to an hour and I'm still stuck on 1%. A file that is 1.6M doesn't seem to be particularly big. Below is the job description so far. As far as I can tell, not much has changed.

Is there a formatting issue in txt that is holding up conversion? A glitch or trick as a noobie I'm not aware of?

Thanks.
