Help! Conversion failing...
...and I'm not smart enough to figure out what's wrong.
I have an epub book I'd like to convert to mobi, but I'm getting a failure to convert message. Can someone walk me through what I might be doing wrong? Keep in mind I'm a bit of a luddite. |

I'm guessing your ePub is corrupt. It is unable to unzip the epub to parse the contents. I'm betting you can't view it with calibre's viewer either, can you?
