Last weekend I upgraded from FW 1.7.1 to FW 2.0RC2. I must say, the interface looks much more polished. However, I have a problem opening ePub files. It looks like the DR1000 does not recognise ePub. ePub files are shown with an icon showing 'abc' in a circle. No metadata (title, author) is shown, only the filename. If I try to open the file nothing happens.

I have tried ePub files generated with Calibre, ePub files downloaded from Manybooks.net, and ePub files from a commercial ebook store. None of them work. I tried using a Mac and two different PCs to put the ePub files on the DR, both using the DR as a card reader, and by ejecting the card and putting it in a dedicated card reader in the computer. Nothing seems to make any difference.

I can read PDFs fine. I checked the gconf schema file, but that includes the ePub format. In the detailed view, the file type is shown as the string shown in the schema file, so it appears the schema file is read.

I also reinstalled FW 2.0RC2, but that didn't change anything either.

Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong?
