Calibre won't add books
I'm trying to add books and when I add the books it either stops at 2 percent, or 4 percent. I updated it to the new calibre and thought it was that, so I used the other version, but it did the same thing. Is there another program that I can use if this one continues to do this to change html to lrf? Or can anyone tell me why it keeps on doing this and can I fix it?

How long did you wait before you thought it was stuck? calibre can take hours to add books. You also need to give more info. What v. did you try it on. How many books did you try adding when it got stuck? Does it work for singular books? What books types did you add?

Also useful to know what OS you are talking about and what versions of Calibre. Are you trying to add lots of books at once, or does this happen when adding a single book?

I am using Vista, but that has never been a problem with the other version I was using. I haven't tried adding only one book because I need it to add more than one.

So you're adding html files? I never did that so I don't know how that would work if the html files come with many sub-files.
Anyway, you should try restarting your computer, than try to add one file. If it doesn't work, than post. If it works, than try again to add many files and wait for a few hours, if it doesn't work than post. In order to help you, one most know where the problem is... |

Run it from a command prompt as
calibre-debug -g and see if any messages are posted to the command prompt when this happens |

Then it says this. Input format plugin: HTML format running. Language not specified Creator not specified Building file list Ignore File List<u'could not read file c:\\securelogin\\login.php with error. I couldn't write more because I have to keep on going back and forth from the command prompt and back here. I don't know why it says this because I am adding from a detachable hard drive which I've did before and had no problems before. Last edited by lilpretender; 08-05-2009 at 03:49 PM. |

As a workaround, go to Preferences->Plugins->File type plugins and disable the HTMl2ZIP plugin

Okay. Did that and it works, but now I have another problem. I am now trying to convert them and it freezes and the screen turns black. When I click the mouse it takes a while for it to go back and then it says this. Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered. Now it's not doing anything. Anyway I can stop that from doing this?

I don't think that's calibre related. Looks like your system is dying.

Check this out. I don't know if they have a solution since it's over 110 pages, but it has something to do with your video card. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=25381

I am now trying to do a windows update to see if that is the problem. While I am doing that I used another computer and disabled the HTMl2ZIP plugin. Now when I used another computer it still took a long time and it landed up only converting 2 out of 43. I haven't used calibre on this computer before this. It is also a new desktop. Only had it for a couple of months.
