Indeed, I have converted a few hundred MOBI files now, and a handfull (a dozen or so) required extraction and cleaning of the html to compile into epub successfully.
By contrast I tried about 3 dozen LIT files yesterday and gave up after a couple of hours or so since it seems every other file went 30 minutes or more without any signs of finishing, a few actually crashing the app.
I have better success extracting the lit files with CLIt and importing the resulting HTML directly.
A funny things is that if I extract the lit file, and compile the resulting OPF with Mobi Creator, I can usually then import the resulting MOBI file to Calibre and then convert to EPUB. Much longer process, hence I just extract to html and import directly.
I would say that there is something hinky with the LIT conversion routines. Not surprising really as LIT is a closed standard?, I figure most conversion processess are created by reverse engineering ( am I wrong?).
