There is something up with 3.2.0 I ran into the other night that is preventing me from opening an epub(side loaded) on my Glo, yet the same epub works fine on my Touch running 3.0.0... The epub, while messy, passes through Sigil with no errors in FlightCrew, but will not open on the Glo past the cover page. Attempting to turn the page invariably closes the epub and displays the thumbnail cover as finished. I've deleted it a number of times, even deleting the entire collection it is assigned to, rebooted between deleting and replacing it, manually set the title as unread and also tried it with the Kobo Plugin for Calibre and even signed out on the Glo and let it rebuild the database.

I'm clueless, but annoyed.
It just started for me. Quite the bother.

I did minor touch ups of purchased (no DRM) .epubs with Sigil on the Glo and also some FadedPage .epubs that I removed pg numbers with regex.

Offending section for one books is

Code:
<body>
  <p><a id="tp"></a></p><?dp n="1" folio="" ?>
  <?dp n="2" folio="" ?>
  <?dp n="3" folio="" ?>
  <?dp n="4" folio="" ?>

  <div class="centerAligned"><img alt="001" class="imgepub" src="../Images/jeff_9780861719709_oeb_001_r1.jpg" /></div><?dp n="5" folio="" ?>
  </body>
I do question the <?dp It is not the cover and has no semantics added onto. It is the third .html in /text

Offending section where it opens/stalls for second .epub is quite simple

[code
<style type="text/css">
@page {padding: 0pt; margin:0pt}
body { text-align: center; padding:0pt; margin: 0pt; }
div { margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; }
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div><img alt="cover" src="../Images/cover.jpg" style="height: 100%" /></div>
[/code]

It is the first .html in text and has cover under semantics.

Other rough edges, two computers have Calibre 1.22 from Debian backports while seperate Windows 7 partition has Calibre 1.31. The 1.22 complains that the filesystem is not totally work

I did a search for <br> and did not find any. Anybody else had any luck? Affected .epubs will open to the same initial page and freeze and go to Finished. Setting to unread, and syncing does not work.

The affected .epubs do not have <br> as Davidfor mentioned that above as one snag that will make this happen.

When syncing with Kobo, it will sometimes hang at 35 or 50% Resyncing does not cure, but it will not hang after a second sync.

Options, wait for updates and see if that fixes? Factory reset? Sigh.
