Sony Won't Read an ePub, but Stanza will
Hi all, just had something bizarre happen to me.
So I converted one of my PDFs to an ePub (I use Wondershare, works really well with my new Sony PRS-T1) like I've done dozens of times before, loaded it onto my ereader... And only got the first 2 pages. I tired it out in the Sony Desktop reader, nothing. I re-converted the original PDF 3 more times, all to no avail. Then I tried reading it with Stanza (desktop application), and it works fine. Anyone else had a similar problem? How did you fix it? Thanks, Owlman. |

It is probably malformed in some way.
What does the epub validator site say about the file? Have you tried opening it in Sigil? That also has a validator. |

It's also possible that the pdf had drm that didn't get stripped when converting the file.

Try converting it from epub to epub in Calibre. (Yes, epub to epub.) What has happened to me is the individual .xhtml files inside the epub, get too large for the Sony. Desktop readers, Sigil, even Calibre read it fine, but the Sony doesn't like it.
If you convert it in Calibre, it will break the chapter files into a reasonable size. |
