Any advice what to do about this?
(Example of issue: [epub no-images] from this page https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/551 crashes my kobo every time when I go past pg81, last page of chapter 10) |
It didn't crash my Clara HD, but, it took over 30 seconds to turn the page to the copyright. Depending on what else is happening, font choice, size or maybe something else, it might take longer. And what you describe sounds like a sickel reboot. That is a process watcher that can reboot the device if it thinks one of the main processes has hung. And taking to long to render the page could trigger sickel. And I suspect the recent changes in font handling are why you are seeing this now.
The simplest workaround for this is to delete the copyright chapter. The code in it is terrible. Removing the "pgmonospaced" class from the div in the code sped it up a lot. That is probably enough to solve this. Removing al the br tags and changing it to paragraphs tags would probably help as well.
