MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Conversion to EPUB Problem (and workaround)

For quite a while now I've had a problem opening EPUBs from Calibre in my Nook for Android app. They work fine on my Nook Simple Touch, but refuse to open in Nook for Android. They also refuse to open in Mantano Reader for Android.

After trying every combo I could in Calibre's conversion settings with no luck,, I finally found a workaround. If I open the Calibre-converted EPUB in the Sigil EPUB editor and save it again, making no changes at all, the saved EPUB works fine. So, it appears to be an EPUB packaging problem in Calibre's converter.

It would be nice if the Calibre developers would look into this. Seems like it would be easy enough to fix. Sigil code is Open Source.
