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!)

Ok, here's the latest - SUCCESS! I started from scratch again, and downloaded the newest (as of 12/11) version. Must be the new version of Calibre changed something because I didn't do anything else differently - or maybe there was a problem with my installation. The only way I realized it was newer than the one I got the day before was that the hourglass was changed to a rotating starburst. Anyway, ePUB files are converting to LRF in about two minutes now.
For what it's worth, the first 6 seconds or so are "converting input to HTML", the next 90 seconds shows "working" at 47% - that's where mine was hanging before - never getting past that. The next section switches to 67% and shows "creating LRF output" - I never got that far before. So whatever it's doing at 47% is where my problem was. Doesn't matter - I'm happy now. Will be even happier if/when Sony fixes this issue so books look like books without having to tweak them myself. Thanks to Kovid Goyal for a great workaround!
