Hi,
I've know it's not a new question, but couldn't find an answer that would help my case.
I've imported a large number of books in zip format (EPUB inside ZIP).
Now I'm trying to add some of the books to kindle and found out that the books cant be converted to any format (have tried most of them). Neither can I open then in Calibre (when double-clicking it just unpacks it and opens the finder in the books folder).
System: MBP, OSX Lion, Calibre 0.8.34
Here is the error desc:
Thank you!
