no iRiver Story option?

gunneos · 11-28-2010, 04:59 AM

Hi guys, I just got an iRiver Story, and I've been using Calibre for the past months now to convert my ebooks to epub format, and it's working great! However I see a whole list of options to convert into many ereader formats, but when I scrolled through the list, there doesn't seem to be one for the iRiver Story. I thought it was quite a popular ereader, at least a known one, so I was a little disappointed. Not that the epub format isn't great, but it makes me wonder what clicking that specific ereader option does in terms of formatting ebooks for that specific reader. Does it do wonders with the formatting? Sometimes my epub formats screw up, I get horrid paragraphing and weird "?" in my texts, when they should be other punctuations, like apostrophes. Calibre has been great, but adding iRiver Story to the list in future versions of the app would make me feel extremely delighted! =D

just choose any of the existing options that have the same screen size as your reader. I am not going to pollute that list with endless duplicates that are all the same under the hood.

Well, can I ask you, if you changed your opinion from last answer, kovidgoyal?

Iriver launched its touch version Cover Story, so there could be "Iriver" in manufacturer, and both "Story" and "Cover Story" in model field. I think there are many users of Iriver devices, that deserve to see their devices in the list.
Thank you.
