Hello, this is my first time using forums in general (and posting in them too), so I apologize if I make any mistakes. I also apologize if this has already been covered but I was unable to find any info about it. Anyway...

I've been using Calibre for about 6 months with my Kindle 2 and have been thrilled with it. I updated to the most recent version two weeks ago and found that I was no longer able to export any books stored as pdfs to my Kindle. I am having intermittent problems converting pdfs to mobi format as well. Sometimes they convert correctly and then export in a readable format and other times the newly converted mobi format shows up as short lines. I tried to read through the suggestions on converting pdfs but I know very little about programming so it was difficult for me to understand. I updated Calibre again this morning to see if that would fix the problem and it hasn't. If anyone could let me know what might be going on and why all of a sudden I can't send pdfs to my Kindle, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!
