Nook STR: epub show only cover

molokom · 06-29-2011, 11:15 AM

Hello there,
my new Nook STR just arrived and it's driving me crazy.

I've a .lit file I've been able to convert to a Kindle, and it's perfectly readable on Calibre on my mac. When I convert it to ePub and upload to the Nook the only thing I get is the cover. And where there is the pagecount it shows a "1 of 1".

Any idea? All the other books I've are fine and I don't do anything special during the conversion.

My guess is there is an issue with the EPUB itself. Open the book in Sigil (make sure you see the text) and save it. This will cause a bit of cleaning to take place. Try it on your Nook and if it still doesn't work open it again in Sigil and run flight crew (built in EPUB validator). You will need to fix the issues as there is something the Nook doesn't like a the file. If there is no text in Sigil then something is seriously wrong with the EPUB.
