Hi everyone,
I'm having a bit of a problem as my new book won't convert to Kindle. It gets through PDF and RTF fine, and then spends ages converting Kindle only to fail.
I'm sent an email saying as much, but with no reasons...but I haven't got a clue. I have two others book on Smashwords, and I followed precisely the same formatting so I can't work it out.
Any ideas?
Geoff

Go to your Dashboard, locate your book, click on "Upload new version" and upload it again - checking the same formats you did the first time. If you haven't changed anything in your formatting or design from the other successful uploads then it is probably a computer glitch.
If your work gets rejected in mobi format again then you have something different in that file than the other successful uploads.

I've tried uploading a new version, but it never gets past the .mobi conversion stage. I really haven't got a clue what the problem would be as it gives you no answers other than 'it failed.'

Then there is something buggy with that file and you'll have to follow the 'nuke' option as described in the Style Guide.
Did you check the 'Details' link on your Dashboard for that ebook and see if any reason(s) given as to why it failed?
I would suspect the file if nothing is different in your formatting and design from the two other ebooks that were successful.
