So that isn't working, neither is converting the PDFs to Doc.

I've tried it with a few different files, and anything that isn't an Epub or Mobi can't be added for some reason.

This is the error, the file in question is a random manual for a woodburner that I've had on my hardrive for ages, just for illustration - but this same error is appearing in Calibre for every single different PDF I try and add, regardless of source.

With error:
