Hello,

I'm having a problem with certain free epubs I download from google books. When I convert them to mobi, it completes without an error, but when I open the book, I'm missing sometimes the first few pages, and sometimes the first chapter or so. It doesn't happen on all epubs from google, just occasionally.

Do you know what could be happening? here is one book that has missing text, and here is one that doesn't.

Do you have any ideas how I can fix this?

Also, for the book that failed, I tried to convert it to html so I could manually edit it and then convert to mobi, but the html conversion was missing the same text.

Thanks for any help you can give.
