Touch HD(PB631) ePub3 series management

sirtao · 02-12-2019, 12:50 PM

Hello, everybody.

I'm currently having this issue with my PB631 Pocketbook Touch HD:
it doesn't show a book's Series(and series number) if the book is a ePub3

If the book is a ePub2, it reads the calibre:series and calibre:series_index metadata, but it ignores the belongs-to-collection metadata of ePub3 books, which Calibre itself uses to identify series in ePub3 books

Any workaround beside remaking my ePub3 books into ePub2?

Thank you very much.

If that matters, I got yesterday a reply from PB support, about a bidi rendering bug which I see on my PB631:

We have investigated the problem and are going to release a new software version with the corresponding bugfix (and also EPUB3 support).
The release is expected approximately in May.

(the answer took 36 days and not 36 hours but let's not be picky)

Thank you, that's a great news!

I'll just have to be patient, then.

ePub3 is not supported by PB sw. A quick test showed me, that neither nav nor series metadata used by the library and reader app.
Workaround: Sigil can generate epub2 toc from epub3 nav for backward compatibility, for series info use a metadata editor to insert the calibre series info (but don't let calibre itself touch the book after that, it removed that metadata for me...).
