To fix this:
  • Extract the EPUB (it's just a ZIP file, basically) and open up the .opf file.
  • Look for the page-progression-direction attribute on the spine element and change it from rtl to ltr (or remove it).
  • Recompress the ZIP archive in a way that ensures that the MANIFEST file comes first.
Why extract anything from the ePub when it's easier to use Calibre's eBook editor?
