Yes, I understand, I checked the last 50 books that are send to calibre,
ALL 50 has problems like problems with entity (alien in the book ? ) with fonts that are called but not present,font names that are described but not actually in the book ( like css font family name Fontin-regular does not match the actual fontname Fontin )
FOUT: CSS: Property: Invalid value for "CSS Level 2.1" property: 0.75 em [257:5: margin-bottom]****[OEBPS/Styles/template.css]
FOUT: CSS: Property: Invalid value for "CSS Level 2.1" property: 1em 3 1em 3 [268:2: margin]****[OEBPS/Styles/template.css]
Name it.. every book that you buy here has problems.. mainly because they use one default css and adapt some values for the book but don't change the rest... or they rename files because of the social DRM but don't adapt the spine.
While auto-repair doesn't fix all, or just destroy the whole book.
About my initial post here,because the error was telling about problems with communication to the device, I didn't searched for a mistake in the book.
Not to make any critcial statement,if the error was "something is wrong with the book" I would look into it.
So I was a bit misled by the error.
From the autor of the plugin I understand that it does make the settings i want,but skips the error,and continue, so it is not a workaround.
I don't use the kepub, i use the plugin only because of the hyphenation setting.
I buy about 10 books a week because I am a lot in the hospital, some books are directly transferred by the bookshop to my device, so even when it contains errors I can't change it when i am in the hospital, when I change it while the book is in the device (otg cable on tablet,rename the epub to zip and do it manually) it erase all settings and the book shows up new.. 99% of all customers (I guess) doesn't know of all the errors inside "as long as it displays.." you know..
When I had used the normal driver, I wasn't warned about the issues anyway..
I will look more into the books to find errors buth which one are critical and which one isn't, and how do I fix it without introducing new ones....I bought a new one this afternoon and it contains 22 errors.. with more then 2200 books in my calibre database.
And to continue this long story (almost an ebook) most errors are translated into my language,make it almost impossible to find something back on Google.. I read, I am not an ebook professor.. almost feel like I am into court because I asked a question about the plugin..
