Post your question in the Calibre Forum ... it may be something as simple as a tweek on the settings .... unless it is a DRM'd file (in that case solutions are still possible)
Hi GeoffC,
It just says that it is unable to convert the ePUB file to whatever output I choose. When I clicked on the details button, I can see that much of the attempted "translation" is resulting in mostly gibberish symbols. It does not give any more of an explanation, as much as I have looked, but I can look more closely and see if there are other clues. Are most or all of the books sold on the Kobo website covered by DRM? Is there a way to tell that in the copy I have downloaded? Kobo at their website does indicate that you should be able to move their downloaded books to other reading devices, like smart phones, etc.
Thanks
Janet
