I've used calibre for over a year now and this is the first time I haven't been able to figure out why a book wouldn't convert. I have a Penguin EPUB that I have tried to convert to both MOBI and AZW3. The EPUB doesn't seem to have DRM as I can view it in the calibre reader and have used the calibre book editor to look into the exploded files. The conversion process doesn't give an error, it just seems to hang at the same place (1%, Formatting scene breaks) each time I've tried. I've let it run as long as 2 hrs. before stopping. My PC is an i7-3770, 8 thread, 16GB RAM, 4TB free, Win7 x64 & calibre 1.23 x64, so it doesn't seem to be for lack of processing power. Any help would certainly be appreciated.
Here's the processing log:
