Can't read/view epub?
Is it just me, or does the current version (6.14.1 for macOS) not like epub files? Every one I've tried to add cannot be read by Calibre. They do not have DRM as far as I know - I can read them otherwise, but Calibre says they're all bad.

If calibre shows an error message. click the Copy to clipboard button and post it here.

One item to remember is that MacOS has a unholy love for unpacking the .zip archives that epubs are supposed to be stored in. That is, instead of having a file, you have a directory which calibre is not happy with.
