marvin says file is invalid or encrypted, but...

Zephness · 07-01-2017, 09:08 PM

Hi All,

I have one epub that I am trying to move to Marvin, but continually get the error "file is invalid or encrypted" It should not have any DRM. I have converted it to epub again, then to mobi>epub and it still doesn't work with Marvin. However, I can read the book via Calibre and was able to load and read it in Bookari on my iPad.

Any idea why Marvin still won't accept this epub?

Thanks

Zeph

No ideas really. Have you tried validating the ePub to see if any errors show up?

You also might want to try loading it into iBook and see if iBook, or any of the other iOS epub readers, and see if they can read it. You also might want to double check and make sure that it's the epub version of the book that you are loading into Marvin and not the mobi version.
