So I let it continue to run, and it was still going after ~50 hours, but then my PC forced a restart overnight, haha.

I'd prefer to have the omnibus on my Kindle in the end, if possible - so that I don't need to separately manage 14 Wheel of Time books. Is there a way to split it, convert each piece to KFX, and then re-merge back into one KFX file?

It's a shame that conversion time increases exponentially. My 1,300 page books take 2-3 minutes to convert. Whereas this 13,000 page book was 50 hours and counting. I'm not a programmer, but is there anything that can be done in the conversion algorithm to allow for better efficiency at higher page counts? Have you determined what the max book size ends up being for you with conversion times that stay reasonable?
