a epub file that confuses my Glo requiring a reset
I have checked the epub file with sigil and Calibre Edit for errors, both report no issues, This epub opens and browses normally in all other devices, yet on the Glo it doesn't browse past the title screen, I'm at a complete loss as to what is causing the Glo to freeze on this epub.

Could a epub guru please have a look to help me determine the cause of woe in my Glo ?.

Many thanks.

I haven't tried it on my Glo, but just looking at it in Calibre the first paragraph is almost 100KB in size!

This is one seriously faulty ebook, I'd ask for your money back.

I only see 10KB, still huge for a paragraph (and they're all like that).

Looks like a botched OCR.

The one I am looking at begins "Arnold Potterley, Ph.D., ..." and ends "... forever. Arrest rescinded." It has 17180 words, 100233 characters.

There's no way I'd read off a copy like that, each story is one long continuous paragraph. A really poorly done scanning job. Deleting the embedded fonts and all references to the fonts from both stylesheets might get it to work though on a Glo (all font-family and font-face references).

In ADE 2.x on my laptop, this ePub is noticeably slow to turn pages with these really long paragraphs. And given that it'sslow on a system with a fairly fast i7 processor, it would be a slug on any Reader.

Ok, so I need to remove the embedded fonts, and re-flow the paragraphs, is that it ?, (a few days of my life to be wasted right there)..

Many thanks for your time.

leftright, where did you get the book? I didn't think those less well-known Asimov anthologies had been released as ebooks?
