I have encountered an ebook in my Calibre Library that cannot be opened in the built in reader or converted to any other format. Attempts to open the book (lit format) gives this error:
calibre, version 0.7.46 Clearly, this is the book, and not a problem with Calibre. I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this issue, and can the error be corrected (keeping in mind that I'm not very experienced with Calibre yet, or ebook technologies)? Perhaps there is place to learn how to fix a damaged ebook? Any advice is most appreciated.ERROR: Could not open ebook: Extra closing tag Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\viewer\main.py", line 62, in run File "threading.py", line 483, in run File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\oeb\iterator.py", line 195, in __enter__ File "site-packages\calibre\customize\conversion.py", line 204, in __call__ File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\lit\input.py", line 23, in convert File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\conversion\plumber.py", line 1042, in create_oebbook File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\oeb\reader.py", line 71, in __call__ File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\oeb\reader.py", line 103, in _read_opf File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\lit\reader.py", line 861, in read File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\lit\reader.py", line 882, in _read_meta File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\lit\reader.py", line 133, in __init__ File "site-packages\calibre\ebooks\lit\reader.py", line 226, in binary_to_text LitError: Extra closing tag thanks, DJ |

Save it to disk and attempt to open it with a different program that could "save as" in a different format or convert the file directly.
Is it in .lit format? I am not too good at reading the traceback but there are several applications out there that can convert a .lit book. Here is one of them and it is free: http://www.convertlit.com/download.php If it still bombs on conversion it may not actually be a .lit file. Someone may have put the wrong extension on the file. I have quite a few .rtf's that are actually .txt's and once the extension is changed they open just fine. Good Luck and Happy Monday |

On the other hand when the Original Poster states that the book is in lit format that might just be a clue. ![]() |

LOL
I didn't even see that I guess I was focusing on the error message printout. Or.....maybe it was being obscured at that moment by a "Somebody Else's Business Field". It could have been that...really! |
