Sigil Problem???

[crutledge]

The attached epub has passed through Sigil 7.3 with no problems found. It also displays in ADE with no problems. It is quite a large book.

Wnen sent to kindlepreviewer a report of "file does not exist or is corrupt."

Calibre produces an LRF which seems to run OK, and produces a MOBI which will not run.

I can't find anything wrong with the epub.

No issues with KindlePreviewer here....

[Tex2002ans]

No issues on my end either.

Are you using Calibre to convert or KindleGen?

Calibre converts it Ok for me

What version of kindle previewer? I think the latest is 2.91, which I used

Do other converted epubs preview ok?

You might try changing Calibre's convert options

Finally, this is the AZW3 after I converted, so try opening it with KP

Good luck

Paul

PS. If all else fails, restart your computer

Offtopic, but assuming, it's the 1902 translation; is it worth to waste your time on an incomplete one?

I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works on this file. I have re-booted, re-started, re-installed KindlePreviewer, aand burned all my joss-sticks. Any other epub I load to KindelPrevies or Calibre works fine.

Perhaps someday I get a head slapper and suddenly see the solution.

Many thanks for all your help.

I don't use Kindle, and can't say how much this influences it, but your epub-file has some errors (not found by Sigil, but very much found by epubcheck 3.01)

So here goes:

- Consider renaming all the files "The Pharaoh and the Priest_00XX.htm" to something without spaces, and then regenerate the TOC

- Epubcheck doesn't like this:

<meta content="2013/10/19" name="dcterms.date of publication" />

(I usually use this form:

<meta content="2013-10-19" name="DC.date.publication" scheme="ISO8601" /> )

- and not this either:

<meta content="Public Domain" name="dcterms.rights&quot;" />

- remove the &quot;

- Hope this helps

Thank you, sir. Made all the above changes and still same-o.

Usually opening the metadata editor <f8> and closing will fix simple errors

Most of 'approve' values can be created from that UI eliminating naming type errors
