Hi, I am new to the boards. I have a sony ereader prs 600. I however usually by my books from Barnes and Noble. I have been using python to remove the DRM from my files so that I can read them on my sony reader. Recently I have discovered that barnes and noble has changed there epub files. They no longer have DRM. This should be a great thing, but its not. I can read them no problem on my computer, but when I put the books on my ereader the name changes for all of them to A and it tells me that there is a page error. The only thing that I have noticed besides the DRM that is different is that these files seem to not be compressed. I have tried using PKZip to compress them, but the reader doesn't recognize those files at all. I am at a loss here and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing similar issues.
