Conversion Error ?

[JDługosz]

I just downloaded Calibre, after buying a Nook. FWIW, Amazon was non-commental concerning any questions, and it word was it didn't handle Far East characters. A friend showed me his new Nook and it was Android with an active "hacking" community, so I bought one on the spot.

I'm following the instructions loosly explained here, pasting that into the "Extra CSS" blank on "Convert Books".

So far, I "Converted" a epub (to epub), and converted plain text, but got this error on a .chm document:

ERROR: Conversion Error: <b>Failed</b>: Convert book 1 of 1 (Legend)

Open a ticket and attach the chm file.

Maybe it's me?
I went to register for the ticket tracker, and got:
" Trac detected an internal error:

DatabaseError: database disk image is malformed
"

[kovidgoyal]

I see you successfully created a ticket, I assume the problem went away?

[JDługosz]

Yes, I tried again later.
