I'll try to think of a way to have the plugin gather more information on this type of failure. In the mean time I have some questions to help diagnose the problem:
  • Were there any other error messages displayed on your system when the conversion failed? If so, what?
  • Have you used the Kindle Previewer to verify that it functions properly on your system? You could try opening this book and verifying that it displays with Enhanced Typesetting (hyphenation) in the Previewer. Press Ctrl-I after opening the book in the Previewer and make sure that the information dialog shows "Enhanced Typesetting: Supported".
  • If you are running an anti-virus program could you try disabling it before launching a conversion to see if that helps?
The converter works, yes, and it did make a couple ebooks with the enhancements. I saw the hyphenation.

Then it asked me to update to 3.1, which I did.

After that I ran the plugin again in calibre, and this time it told me that KindleImageConverter failed (twice, on one job).

And then, on the next try, it converted the ebook which had failed 4 times already.

So now it is working - sorta.
