Trouble converting mobi to epub.

Hey guys, I'm kinda new to using calibre and when trying to convert a dictionary from mobi to epub it kept failing. I've attached a txt file with the error logs from the gui app and the command line app. It looks to me like they're failing in the same spot, but I have no real idea what the problem is.

The memory error that first occurs indicates that something ran out of memory while converting. I don't know the cause of that, unless that's a really huge ebook...
Another thing that occured to me is that ePub doesn't support dictionaries, Mobipocket however does. You might not have the ability to look up anything, depending on what reading software you use.

You need a rather powerful computer to successfuly convert dictionaries and even if you do succeed, as Manichean pointed out, the result wont be a useable dictionary, just a normal book with a list of words and their meanings.

Hm. Thanks for the quick reply. The book doesn't seem that big. It's a bit over 6mb. Thanks again.
