It has been going for over an hour now and is just halfway through. So how many days is it going to take it to convert these PDFs into ePubs? Python is for script-kiddies, not serious programming.
So! 500M? that is 1/6 of the installed RAM that my W7 Toshiba came with.
W7 itself, uses more than 500M

You can READ all those book in A DAY? (IMHO the only reason you would need to convert them all at once. in which case it would have been better to by a device that supported viewing PDF's.)
