Thanks, I've started getting these direct from the Delphi (ePub). For another $1 they include 'parts' (separate files for each book).

I tried another large omnibus MOBI from a different publisher with the same result (seems to stall out at 47%), while another similar, large one that starts in AZW3 pauses a bit at 47%, but then continues and finishes. So it seems specific to MOBI. Another common feature: very large ToC (at least 1200 entries).

It's possible it just takes awhile, but job is running for 25 minutes already, and there is no memory pressure or significant CPU load. I'll let it go longer to see if it manages to finish.

Update: still spinning its wheels after 2 hours. "it's dead, Jim"
