i agree, however ironically this has got sort of off topic. harry potter doesn't show up on my device. all other kepub do. the epub shows up. i get what you're saying about the database version, but i have verified the newest calibre is on my computer. i have verified the plugins and kobo utilities are up to date. i even reinstalled them all to be sure. it still gives me an error when i connect my kobo saying the database isn't supported or something similar.
I'm not sure what obscura is. i assume it is the publisher font, but it also seems irrelevant, as i have many custom fonts, none of which will be listed in any epub file normally. the kobo is supposed to use those and override the epub font. are you saying i need to manually list every custom font, case sensitive, in every epub file before putting them on my kobo? seems to defeat the purpose of custom fonts, and kepub doesn't have the issue. :-o
so back to my main point, how do i get the potter kepub to show up? kepub gives more functionality than epub with chapter progress and such, and has been working great for me. but i don't know how to tell if this is a book conversion issue or something else? the book is visible in the file structure in the root with the other books. I've tried renaming it, converting it with all sort of options to strip things and add things and in between. but it never shows up. the reader doesn't even look like it detects it. but if i then convert a different epub that other book will show up...?
