I've downloaded a nice book for my daughter with little text and a lot of pictures. However, I have trouble displaying it on her Kobo Glo and my Onyx Boox Note Pro. The book is reupped [deleted]

So it doesn't display well on Linux for mupdf and Calibre 5.xxx, too. After conversion to PDF, the images display correctly, but the text is lost. However, Sigil and another ePub editor do display it prefectly in their preview.
So I rebooted to Windows 10 and Calibre 4.xx does display it correctly. MuPDF is still a rather sorry affair. Conversion to PDF with Calibre stays stuck at 47%, though.

I've ran into this kind of trouble before. I then take out all the images and create a cbz-file (zipped container for all the images) and reading goes fine. However, in this ePub the text is not part of the image, so it's lost. (A clue for what happened to the Calibre 5.x conversion, too.)

Does anyone have an inkling as what may be causing it and how to alleviate it?
