BookGlutton Problems

galactica84 · 08-03-2008, 09:36 PM

The convrsion program works fine with the PC reader but when I transfer the files to the PRS-505, it is unable to open the files. Other e-pub files from other sites work ok. What's happening here, I thought that e-pub was a standard ? Mabe the new firmware isn't completely compatible.

If you get down to the bottom of a packet of Jack Links, you'll find a sachet full of something with a strong warning not to eat it. All that means is don't expect CP-1252 to be UTF-8, know what I mean? Question A: what other e-pub reader? Question B: what display problem? Question C: what do it do on the Kindle?

I'm pretty sure that this problem is related to the size of the XML flow. I guess that BookGlutton create ePub files using a single XML flow, which won't work on the PRS-505 most of the time.

Thanks for the tip Hadrien, I just did a test with the first chapter and included the cover.jpg and it worked fine in the PRS-505.
Now for the multi-chapter test !
