Well, I tried the same ePUB file again, it stops at 47%. I deleted all, re-downloaded the ePUB file from Sony, removed the DRM again, and started over in Calibre. Same results. I left it running all night, still shows 47%. When I stopped it (had to use Task Manager - the Stop Job button didn't work), it cautions that it's running a process (but had made no progress in ten hours). When the eReader is connected, it sees the device and the log shows that it detects the four other books I already have on it. I made sure I have the latest version of Calibre. Then I removed that book, started all over with a different downloaded ePUB, same thing.

After I killed it, the log showed it parsed all 29 chapters and detected all 29, then nothing. Task Manager showed calibre-parallel.exe running. I closed out of everything - rebooted, and started all over with everything - same results. No virus scanning or defrag is happening in the background. I removed the eReader, and nothing but my bluetooth mouse is attached. I know the file has DRM removed, because I can read it in Calibre Ebook Viewer.

I must be doing something wrong. I tried first to just change so it was full-justified and leave it ePUB. When that didn't work, I tried to change the output to LFR, hoping that would accomplish the same. But I still can't get it to complete the conversion. HELP!! (By the way, my laptop is only about a month old!)
