Particular .lit files causes calibre-parallel.exe to crash

Barty · 12-31-2010, 06:50 PM

I have 2 particular .lit files that cause calibre-parallel.exe to crash when trying to convert to ePub. Microsoft reader seems to be able to read them just fine, so they don't seem to be corrupted.

I upgraded calibre to the latest. Same result. Files have been de-DRMed

Any ideas? Thanks

microsoft reader is more tolerant of damaged lit files than calibre. That's not going to change, since the LIT format had to be reverse enginnered and I no longer have the time to work on it. You will just have to find those books in another format.
