Mari123 Member Posts: 21 Karma: 10 Join Date: Jan 2023 Device: none	Cannot convert a epub to azw3 Hi, I've downloaded a AO3 fanfic by FanFicFare in epub format and I wanted to convert it into AZW3 to read it on my Kindle. But it failed to convert and I ran the debug log. Can someone see why the conversion failed?

I suggest that be removed. Then check if the ePub is a valid ePub. It it's not, that could be the reason for the other failure.

But it is labeled as an epub and opens with a calibre reader. I tried downloading it again

by FFN and it doesn't convert at all. Could it be a problem with the fanfic itself from the site?

Okay, you were right. I had two fics that kept giving me error messages and I must have mixed up these two. The fic I had first mentioned worked well after I redownloaded it and converted it(It didn't open in epub at first).

The second fic is giving me conversion errors too

Spoiler:

Can you check what is wrong with this fic too? I don't know what the tag chunks mean
