7 years ago I'm not sure if this is worth another issue because you're probably going to tell me that this is a sax issue or an odt2html issue (let me know), but I had similar issues with the document here: https://github.com/chamilo/docs/blob/1.11.x/fr/admin/chamilo-1.11-guide-administrateur.odt

This seems completely incoherent with the error message (except a mention of "draw:image"), but there you go...
To find the issue (in an ODT file of about 100 pages), I first opened the file in LibreOffice, then used the following menu sequence (translated from French, so not sure the translation is perfect): File > Send > Create a master document, and created one with 1 level of elements. This generated one .odt file by chapter. From there, I tried several things, but removing all images worked, so I then started removing them one by one and launching gitbook-convert on each of these document, once after each image was deleted. This allowed me to pinpoint the image that was failing.
It would be nice to have some doc in the README (or in package.json) about the minimum Node version. Your log messages say you "Update to Node 6", but unless you put that in the README a normal user wouldn't find the information.
I use NodeJS v4.2.6 (default Ubuntu 16.10 package) and launching gitbook-convert -d doesn't return anything. Not in logs, not on the command line... In my opinion that could really be improved by adding a bit of messaging.
Note: I'm trying to use gitbook-convert from sources because I'm repeatedly failing to import this document: https://github.com/chamilo/docs/blob/1.11.x/en/admin/chamilo-1.11-guide-admin.odt to import on gitbook.com and I just receive a message saying the conversion failed, but I don't get any detail.
So I'm coming here to get more details, and then I'm stuck with no output either... :-)
Anyway, I couldn't say all that without congratulating you on gitbook.com. Really nice. Other .odt files have imported quickly and saved me a lot of time.
Oh, by the way, NodeJS 6 totally did the trick on Ubuntu Xenial.
