Extremely Long Conversion PDF -> EPUB
I'm in the process of adding a trilogy to Calibre for conversion to EPUB. The problem is no single site had all 3 books: I got #3 from Project Gutenberg, #1 is from Kindle, and #2 is from Google Play.
The Project Gutenberg PDF converted just fine, the Kindle one should convert without a problem, but I'm having a problem with the Google Play PDF. First I had to delete about 25 blank and other unnecessary pages from the PDF, then I imported it into Calibre and started conversion. After about 20 minutes I cancelled the job because I suspect the PDF size (49MB) is what was causing the slowdown. How long should converting that size ebook to EPUB take? |

20 minutes isn't long for a pdf conversion--3 or 4 days might be. All depends on what is inside the pdf, which could be anything. Let it run a while, and while it's running have a look at the Sticky post about converting pdfs: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=118605
