Fair enough - I thought it might be something like that but did not off-hand know where to look to check.

In your case (a very, very large library), this is not enough.
There are others on the forum who have been talking about libaries 3-4 times the size of mine. It does mean that I do not use DropBox because of the amount of space it would require. Instead everything is hosted under Apache on one of NAS servers at home.

I made a correction, which will be included in the next release.

In the meantime, you should be able to run the tool if you edit the calibredbxtract.bat file, inside the bin subfolder of the directory where you installed the tool : replace the line showing set EXTRA_JVM_ARGUMENTS= with set EXTRA_JVM_ARGUMENTS=-Xmx256m
Thanks - I will try that.

Maybe you should add soething about the RAM requirements v Library size to the README file? You do not want to make the tool grab a lot of RAM for those who have much smaller libraries so simply telling people what to do if the error requires might be the way forward?
