The Neverending Story

meandher57 · 01-26-2012, 06:36 AM

Here's one my wife has encountered recently with a couple of books (from the same series) that were sideloaded into her wifi Kobo. A few times while reading, she has clicked on 'next page' only to be thrown back to a previously read section. Paging back to where she was... she gets tossed back again. She managed to finish the first book by reading it in ADE. The second one, I think she is using next chapter to move on. Anyone encountered this? I wonder if reconverting in Calibre might help... or it's just a matter of a corrupt epub file?

I've seen this in books with a multi-level table of contents where chapters have subsections (i.e., utb:depth greater than 1). Kobo doesn't seem to handle these too well. You've discovered the only two workarounds I've found: read the book in ADE or Calibre, or use next chapter to navigate.
