And if you'd read his post you'd have seen he's talking about non-drmed files.

Getting an error importing non-DRM books:

"calibre, version 6.0.0
ERROR: Critical failure: The read metadata worker process crashed while processing some files. Adding of books is aborted. Click "Show details" to see which files caused the problem."

Occurrs on all of the ePubs I attempt to import.

Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.
Something is blocking the calibre workers, it's usually caused by your antivirus Kovid said this earlier in the thread
