Hey there. I'm a first time poster. I have a 62 MB AZW3 book that I would like to read on my Ipad Air 2. I have tried to get it onto my Ipad in its current form, but it won't work. Changing the extension name to .mobi was no help. So I've turned to Calibre to try to convert it to mobi or epub. The book has no DRM, I am able to view it in the Calibre reader and I was able to transfer it to my kindle fire HD before it broke. But when I try converting it, the file stops at 47% for about 90 minutes before giving me this error message:

Flattening CSS and remapping font sizes...
Python function terminated unexpectedly
(Error Code: 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):

MemoryError


Can anyone tell me what is going on or suggest an alternative?
More RAM if less than 3.2G on a 32 bit processor
use a 64 bit processor and OS

the book is just too big for your system
