Public bug reported: Xubuntu 11.04. Calibre is unable to dependably convert epub to mobi. Calibre (Windows XP version same computer different OS) was able to convert the very same documents. The following is what I got at the end of a failed conversion. It also happened in pdf to mobi.

Again the same problem arose. I tried another PDF file and attempted to convert it to Mobi. It failed when the html file was being converted to mobi. Under Windows XP Calibre did convert however. It seems that Calibre converts to html before it converts to another format. ** Affects: calibre (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/892492 Title: Failing to convert to mobi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calibre/+bug/892492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
