Conversion inconsistencies

Stingo · 06-12-2009, 09:00 AM

I converted some fairly large books in HTML format to LRF for use on my PRS505. No problems. I now upgraded to .06 beta and am trying to convert the very same books to MOBI and I get errors. It happens on some books and not on others. Are the converters just inconsistent in how they work from one format to the other.

If anything, I would imagine it is the other way around. I can't tell if you're using the HTML or the LRF files as the source to convert to MOBI. However my guess would be the files were not created consistently.

Also v0.6 is a beta - so their are a number of bugs that will have to be worked out.

The whole conversion system was re-written in 0.6. The new code is a lot less robust than the old code (at least to begin with), so open tickets and attach the source files cuasing the problems.
