Yeah I only have 4GB of RAM. Though my antivirus started it's monthly full system scan during this and that tends to slow down my laptop a lot. Do you think it would be worth trying again after the scan finishes?

Also are you completely sure it's a memory problem? I tried an online conversion site and the conversion failed almost as soon as it finished uploading the file. I'm not saying that it's impossible for an online site to fail because of a memory problem, but I'd expect it to take longer for it to tell me it failed.

If you're sure it's a memory issue and you don't think trying again after my AV scan finishes would make a difference, then maybe I'll try on my mother's brand new Windows 8.1 desktop which has 6GB of ram but I don't want to install software on her computer if it's not necessary(though I can always remove it when I'm done).

A part of me thinks I should just screw it and return the ebook to Amazon and buy it from B&N since my tablet app takes epub files, but I don't have a Nook account so I'd have to go through the trouble of setting that up, plus the book costs more on Nook than Kindle.
