Hi,

I can support the "just be patient" advice; yesterday, on a 64 bit notebook, converting a 95 MB Epub file to .txt format took between 16 and 23 hours (it finished some time while I was sleeping).

P.S. Beware of the technical side of this excellent forum:
I typed this, clicked on "Post..." and was told that I had been logged off (which is ok - my last activity was a day ago), but after logging in my text had vanished, which is not ok.
I re-typed the text, copied it to the clip-board - you never know - and hit "Post..." again; this time I was told to click "Back" because the token had expired (ok again), but when I did so, my text had vanished AGAIN - not ok, other forum engines do this better.

So, having refreshed the window, here's the third attempt - after again copying to the clipboard ;-) ...
