For the first time ever I have an AZW3-file that will not convert to epub in Calibre. The job is stuck on 1% now for about 10 minutes. As I've always blindly relied on Calibre's ability to convert I'm in the dark as to what may be happening here.

Spoiler:

Convert book 1 of 1 (One Hundred Days: Napoleon's Road to Waterloo)
Conversion options changed from defaults:
