Is there any guideline on how long it should take to convert such a large file? calibre has been churning away for aboug 15 minutes, with no sign of being done. I'm going to let it go over night, but is there any way to tell whether calibre is actually converting it or is just stuck in some sort of loop?

If the file is too big for calibre to work on, are there other tools that are better to use with very large documents like this? We're going to have a lot of them, but I'd rather read them on an eink device than try to read and keep track of them on a computer screen.
Till it is done or crashes. That big could take over a day (24hrs) since it is not a simple file to start.
