Last week I was thinking it would be a good idea to have the OED on my Kindle and here it is. Amazing what you're doing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Dear Uploader,
first of all, thank you for all of your great torrent.
For this torrent (oxford dictionary), I try to use my calibre to convert it into .epub format, because I'll do it for my friend, who is blind. He prefer to use it in .EPUB format, but my calibre can't convert it. If you have time, please upload this dictionary in other formats, such as epub.
Thank you

I concur with nutcracker2011, it would be nice if someone could convert this to EPUB, which is a much better supported format in the open-source community as well as by non-Amazon ebook software in general...
As nutcracker2011 also correctly noted, Calibre will in most cases fail to convert this particular ebook to EPUB, as Calibre will abort the process with the message "Memory Error". I believe this particular ebook requires somewhere around 16GB of RAM memory for Calibre to successfully convert it and a day or two in conversion time. This is due to the extreme complexity of the nested dictionary references contained within this ebook, unlike say most ordinary ebooks which contain a few footnotes at the most. But it only takes the good will of one individual with a powerful enough computer configuration (i.e. 16GB RAM) to do this work for all of us in Calibre and upload an EPUB version here on TPB. Any volunteers?

I have a 16GB 686 system idling (being used for word processing) and I still get the out of memory error (albeit in

@lord_humungous_the_big,
the report I received from that individual was that the conversion process completed successfully on his 16GB setup, but he did also note that it had used up almost all of his 16GB of memory (the time required was around 2 hours, btw, not 2 days as I mistakenly wrote)
So, by the sound of it, you would need to run it on a minimalistic 16GB RAM setup without other processes running at the same time. You'd also need to run the more memory-efficient x64 version of Calibre, because with the 32-bit version not even 16GB RAM would be anywhere near enough.

BTW, the "individual" I'm talking about is someone working in the Calibre bug support community. I filed a bug report for this particular ebook, but received the answer that it was strictly an issue of insufficient RAM and that he had managed to convert it on his 16GB system. Obviouusly, I couldn't simply request a copy from him, since that would be breach of copyright, LOL.
