Glad to hear it worked, at least. If it crashes again, PM me the source file and your settings. Text re-flow overrides native PDF and turns it off. The two are incompatible for the way I convert the documents. That's why the converted document is larger than the source document--it's all bitmaps now. But it may process faster that way on your kindle. There's not a lot of processing or memory usage the kindle has to deal with to display bitmaps.
I've used jpdftweak on files up to 750 pages and 50 MB, but I had to increase the java memory size to > 1 GB. I like it better than PDFSAM for what I do. It's got a much smaller install footprint, and I can't get PDFSAM to work from the command line, even after spending 15 minutes trying to get it to work. But PDFSAM does seem to be able to handle larger files than jpdftweak (from the GUI).
