The "Could not find reasonable point at which to split error" means when creating the epub, calibre couldn't determine a natural place to split the resultant html. The ePub spec requires the blocks of html be less then 300k and calibre defaults to breaking them into 260k size chunks. Most ereader devices won't read the book unless this is done.

You can correct this a couple of ways.

1. Find a different source file.

2. Run the conversion with a directory set under the debug option (see attached). This will give you the book at various stages of HTML processing after the conversion is run. You can open The input (or other stage) with SIGIL then save it as an ePub file then convert that ePub to ePub conversion to clean things up.

Review this thread for more detailed info.

Thank you so much.

I'll give that a try tomorrow with a fresh mind.

Thanks again for all your help.

You're welcome.

I tried to respond to the PM you sent but you have chose not to receive PMs. This makes communication, like warning you about attachments or how to handle that difficult.

I don't understand. I am new to forums.

I have a tick in everything in my CP panel. Do I need to add your name specifically somewhere?

I think I fixed it. I had a tick in receive messages only from contacts. Grrr.

Please try again. Thanks.

You would find the selection under edit options (see attached). It could be a limitation of the forum before x number of posts.

I have that ticked. The problem is that I had the one below it ticked as well. I have now removed the tick.

It works now I just sent you a PM. We just cross-posted the last couple of posts.
