Red face Latest JK Rowling book does not convert
I got the leatest Potter book (british library) in .epub.

It will stop converting at 47% either trying to get à .rtf or e .pdf conversion (after 5 or 6 hours)

There are 200+ pages and images in it. I tried to remove some of it and get very partial results.

Any idea ?

Regards, JP

Where did you buy it from? Could it perhaps be a fixed layout ePub? They can't be converted.

from news
It is a 'free' epub from usually reliable news source. It will display in Calibre, with bad formatting, but will not convert to rtf or pdf, always getting stuck at 47¨%.
Well I don't care much about it anyway.

If it's the "A Journey Through a History of Magic" exhibition catalogue, you can get it via the Pottermore site - also very reliable

Why do you want to convert to RTF and/or PDF? Is this a legit copy you have?

NO. Thanks. Anyway, the only way to read an epub for me is with Calibre. Seing the content, I would NOT buy this book anyway. I am juste surprised that it cannot be converted.

One of the three fixed layout epub books I've purchased (actually for my daughter ). And the only one that I needed to use the .fxl.kepub.epub extension to have look half decent on her Kobo ereader.

Please don't help. The book is not legal.

Mobileread will not help pirates who need help on illegally obtained ebooks.

This is your last and only warning.
