I downloaded Calibre for Mac (I'm on Leopard 10.5) to convert PDFs to Epub for my iPad. I tried to add one 23.3 MB PDF. After a long time "Adding..." I eventually got the message "The add books process seems to have hung. Try restarting calibre and adding the books in smaller increments, until you find the problem book." I did restart calibre, but I don't know what a smaller increment is than one book. Many tries later I still get the same message. There's lots of help here and in the calibre docs, but it all assumes I've been able to add a book. I'm stuck at this basic step. Thanks for any help you can give me.
