Hi,

Since updating to InDesign CC 2014, I am having problems using Calibre to convert the epubs I create in InDesign to mobi. The conversion seems to never complete.

I left Calibre running over most of the weekend, the process got stuck at 47% for some time, and then was stuck at 67% for over 36 hours!

The epub I am trying to convert was created using the same InDesign template I used to use in an older version of Indesign, is a similar length to previous epubs and is a similar structure, but Calibre used to convert the epubs to mobi in minutes.

Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading to InDesign CC 2014, and is there anything in the epub output settings that might fix it?

I usually have to tweak my InDesign files a few times to get the mobi version looking good, and I can't really do that if it takes days to create the mobi each time!

Thanks.
