PDF files in Calibre 0.7.13

rxmom03 · 08-09-2010, 04:50 PM

I just updated to calibre 0.7.13 and tried to convert some PDF files to e.pub to read on my iphone 4. I used the same settings as I have before, but they won't convert--or download correctly--or something. When I try to download them thru Stanza to my iphone, I get an error message saying "Import Failed. Failed to download and import 'title of file': Failed writing downloaded book data to:/private/var/mobile/Applications/A09FC876-C776-471D-A063-40D012BF2BFF/tmp/Downloads/download-12

I have 10 files, and tried to download them as a group, which didn't work, then tried one at a time--which didn't make any difference

So any help would be appreciated.

I think this may be a Stanza problem. I have tried downloading thru gmail, thru the Baen free library, and a file that was already ePub and didn't need to be converted. I am off to the Stanza forum, but if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.

That problem seems to occur every so often, and the solution is a complete reboot of the device running Stanza.

I found that out last night--I obviously need to read the Stanza forum more often! I turned my iPhone off and back on and now I can download my books. Although this is apparently a temporary fix and apparently once it happens, it may happen a lot....
