You will also need a somewhat recent version of Calibre. Somewhere along the road a bug was fixed that prevented extremely large books like the Delphi Classics from converting.
It's not only file size that affects conversion. I can convert the Dickens one, which is 81MB (although it took about 4h to convert!). The two I can't convert are H. Rider Haggard (29MB) and Edgar Wallace (57MB). This is with the latest version of Calibre. I guess they must have a more complex internal structure.
