LRF weirdness with Calibre 0.7.44

[cyprinella]

I've got version 0.7.44 and I'm noticing that when it converts epubs to lrfs, the file size is like ten times the size of the original epub (like 1.0 MB or more when files I converted on older versions are much, much smaller.) and my 505 chokes on it. I've been trying to download one really long story from A03, and I'm converting it because the epub from the site comes up empty in my reader every time. It works if I convert it to RTF and load that. If I convert to LRF, it never loads and freezes my reader. Anyone having a similar problem with this version?

I filed a bug with AO3 a while back so they are aware of the problem. I use elf's suggestion of converting from epub to epub. I just do that automatically for every AO3 file that I download. It just takes a second and sidesteps so much potential aggrevation.

I don't convert to lrf but I don't see it as a bug on the calibre bug list. Here is where you would go to file a bug: http://calibre-ebook.com/bugs
