Colbert and Calibre - great together, but...?
I can read Stephen Colbert's "America Again" book in Calibre's epub reader just fine - it's a very graphic-intensive book with some complicated-looking layouts on many pages but Calibre's reader (0.9.18) handles it perfectly.

But when I save the epub to disk and try to read in other epub-friendly programs on my tablets - Aldiko, Nook - it's simply hopeless. Text goes missing, only the barest number of graphic elements show up...

On my portable devices, only the Google Play reader (it's originally a Google Play book) directly from Google's servers, or PDF readers do the job. I tried doing an epub--epub conversion within Calibre and that didn't solve anything. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this title?

Not a high priority since my portable PDF reading software is actually doing a good job, but I feel like I'm missing some basic nut of knowledge about dealing with books like this.
