Smashwords Catalog

[josepinto]

Hi,

Two more suggestions:

- Catalog for Smashords:
http://www.smashwords.com/atom

- Display thumbnails of bookcovers in ePub-Catalog.

Also, epubs from Zinepal do not open in ePubReader.

Thank for all your work,

José Pinto

Yes, I've already planned to integrate them but I have to test it first.

If you see the list of books, just click on the magnifier to see the thumbnails.

I've checked this. The problem is, that they send the wrong content type (text/html). For this reason EPUBReader doesn't have a chance to handle the epub. But you could save the epub as first to your disk and open it the via the Firefox "File/File open" menu. I'll contact them and ask if they can change it.

The magnifier only appears in the Feedbooks and Archive.org catalogs, not on my private library. What I wanted was to see thumbnails of the books in my private library.

Ah okay sorry, I thought you are talking about the new external catalogs. I put this request on the change list.

Dont´s get me wrong. The ability to view covers in the external catalog is excelent. I will stop using FbReader now.

Zinepal.com is now sending the correct content type, so opening the ePubs in EPUBReader is now working without problems.
