Does anyone have the same problem? Has anyone found the solution? Is size the problem? I have tried to convert them to various format using different programs including Calibre but the conversion failed.
Thanks!
I'm definitely not a FBreader expert, but I believe size matters. My understanding is that FBreader tries to load the entire CHM into memory. So large files can potentially cause a memory problem.
