[Dzib]

Hi,

I have the following error when trying to convert this epub to azw3...
My OS is Windows 7 64bits and I use Calibre 2.79.1

Spoiler:

the file themedata.thmx in the epub is incorrectly marked as containing plain text. Delete it using the calibre editor and you will be fine.

Works! Thanks a lot!
