Conversion speed from Mobi to ePub seems to be remarkably inconsistent. All my books are created via the same route: BD -> HTML -> Mobi Creator -> Calibre, and yet sometimes I have two books which are pretty much the same size, and not obviously of different "complexities", and yet one will convert in 15 seconds and the other will take 15 minutes. Not a problem - just an observation  . |
Offhand I'd guess that some of those books have "repeated but slightly different css". calibre's MOBI input plugin geenrates CSS from the MOBI attributes and when it does this, it tries to restrict the amount of duplicate CSS it generates (to speed up the eventual CSS parsing). However, some MOBI files have a lot of CSS that is different textually, but renders the same, leading to long parsing times.
