Moon+ Pro and AO3 Downloads

diremommy · 02-03-2015, 09:39 AM

I read a lot of fanfiction, and I take advantage of AO3's download feature, to download epubs straight to my Nexus tablet. I've always opened in Moon+, and it's always worked great.

However, the last couple of days, whenever I try it, I get either a blank page, or a bunch of symbols. I don't think it's an AO3 issue, because the same files open fine with Mantano and Aldiko, I just prefer Moon+.

Does anyone have any idea what's causing this, or have a place where I can email Moon+'s tech support directly?

I'm also having problems with Moon+ with CSS formatting. However, I was also able to replicate the problem that you described.

I found a solution. I'm assuming you're using an android device.

This is what I get when I press on the ePub link and chose to open directly with Moon+.

What I usually do is open it with a browser app first.

And then pull down the notification tray and then choose Moon+ to open the file. And voila.

Thanks, I'll try this out, it's been giving me fits the past couple of weeks.

ETA: I did this, with epub, it doesn't even give me the option to open with Moon +, just Aldiko or Mantano, and if I try with mobi, it opens, but I just see a bunch of symbols.

That's weird.

I get these options when I open it from the notification tray.

If all else fails, then you should just open the ePub file from your file manager.

OK, NOW it's working the first way you said to try it, downloading with chrome then opening with Moon +. Dunno why it didn't work earlier, I'm almost positive I was doing it right, but Moon+ wasn't even an option for epubs.

Coincidentally, I'm trying to DL TW fic!

It's nice to encounter another TW fan in a non-fandom environment.

Not that I'm badmouthing Moon+, but I'm currently switching to Pocketbook. Lately, Moon+ is ignoring the internal CSS files.
