Calibre 2 is out
Curt:
oh, I didn't see this post at first, before posting my above answer.
why not just download the individual titles you actually want to read from Project Gutenberg or other free sources? -40hz (August 24, 2014, 06:53 AM)

-may very well be necessary, but then a hundred will be reduced to a handful...
Curt:
Calibre version 2 has only been able to convert my small books, not any of my larger but still normal sized books, before failing, due to memory error.

Cuffy:
Curt, Take a look here. There may be a clue :huh:
http://freekindlebooks.org/
Curt:
-thank you, Cuffy, what an excellent link! :Thmbsup:
-----------
I re-installed epubor, and successfully removed the DRM-protection! :up:
But I have not yet been able to convert the same, huge .prc file. The ebook converters epubor and Calibre are both using too much RAM in an unpatiently way...; they freeze to death before there is enough memory available. I guess 225MB is quite a job. Do I really have to buy a new computer, in order to convert this ebook into a more useful format?
modified:
At http://ebook.online-convert.com/ I can convert the file for a mere $5. Cheaper than a new PC.

A file over 100mb :huh:
The largest file for online conversion is usually limited to 100mb
