Hello, I've been a lurker previously and this is my first post. First, I would like to thank all the generous people here for offering their expertise to so many.
I've been reading this thread and others with great interest and still cannot successfully convert .prc to Mobi without getting a lenthy error log. The file in question is non-DRM'd, .prc format and I've corrected the author name in order for it to appear on my Kindle (I've yet to find out!). When I select convert 'individually', the hourglass does its thing, but this is the error I am receiving (below). (Calibre v.0.5.1)
Can anyone help? I am at my wit's end!
:
Thank you very much.
