Conversion Time
 Am wondering what a typical conversion time for books? I tried to convert one the other night and after 7+ minutes I was only at 67%. These aren't huge files, just your normal, everyday, romance novel. Is a long conversion time normal or am I doing something wrong?

Long conversion times are not atypical. It all depends on the complexity of the book's internal markup. It is possible for conversion to take hours. As long as you don't get an error message let it run. It's working.

I had a conversion that took hours - I gave up after four hours.

Thanks for the replies!
I'll be using Calibre as my organizational tool instead of my conversion tool. When I find a book I want to read, I pretty much need/want instantanious conversion! |
