I decided to load the epub to my Nexus 7 tablet without using Calibre, and am able to read it just fine in Smart Reader, so I cannot understand why Calibre is taking so long to do whatever it is doing.

I'm not in the least bit 'tech-y' so I don't know if there are other circumstances I should be looking at. My Calibre is on my old Dell Alien, running Windows 7.
