Unable to View Kepub
I have converted a bunch of epbub and azw3 files to Kepub but now I am unable to view them using the internal Calibre viewer. I get the following error output:
calibre, version 7.26.0 ERROR: Loading book failed: Failed to open the book at /Users/ed/Ebooks/Adrian R. Magnuson/Taking Flight (2219)/Taking Flight - Adrian R. Magnuson.kepub.

At this time, calibre does not display .kepub files. The file extension used by Kobo ereaders is .kepub.epub which calibre happily displays as an ePub. When calibre sends a .kepub to a Kobo ereader it adds .epub to create that double barrelled file extension.
One other clue might be the icon used by calibre for a .kepub file which is a page with a question mark. Edit: Not absolutely certain but I think that 7.26.104 will display a .kepub but haven't tested that. Last edited by DNSB; 03-20-2025 at 10:06 PM.
