"Unable to expand "the martian Obelisk...Unknown.zip" It is in an unsupported format" But the file is not a zip, it's HTML (with an inordinately long header block, but still, clean html that I can read with an editor, and I tried emptying the entire header block from the local archive.)
So I think there's a bug in perhaps the format recognizer code?
Either way, I'd appreciate advice on working around the issue. |
I'm using calibre 7.3. I saved as web page in Firefox. I then loaded the HMTL file as is. I then copied the image and pasted it as the cover. I converted it to ePub. Worked no problem.
I am using Widows 11 if that helps.
