O'Reilly epubs doesn't work
I do own some oreilly.com epubs. They offer different formats but for the JetBook Color I did want to use epubs (mobi doesn't work really well).
That doesn't work. If you're device isn't Digital Editions registered it complains that it needs to be registered. If you do that (totally senseless because it's DRM less) it says 'Can't open file'. What's going on? Did somebody else try that out? You might even try it out with some of the free O'Reilly E-Books on their site. |

Has the epub you want the DRM? or it is "DRM less"?
if Your ebook (epub or PDF) has DRM protection you have to follow the istruction on: http://www.jetbook.net/adobedrm otherwise best to contact Ectaco support. In my experience I bought several epub and pdf (without DRM) from http://www.packtpub.com/ and they works perfectly on Jetbook Color |

The JetBook Color doesn't process epubs which are named 'Something.ePub'. The capital P leads to the the point that the JetBook Color isn't able to open the file. Not sure if it is really a bug (don't know if the the epub 2.0 specification forbids it) but in focus of a better compatibility I hope Ectato will fix it. |

There is nothing in the epub specification that specifies how the file system must work so it is not a specifications issue. Dale Last edited by DaleDe; 09-10-2012 at 08:05 PM. |
