This should be what you get when going to the main URL instead of waiting for a splash page to load far enough for 'skip' to appear.

Problem is, that doesn't take you to the same place that you are after skipping the intro. It looks similar but doesn't have all the information as you get after skipping the intro.

slayda You are correct it does not even show the same firmware as the other way.

I took the /html route, and I never noticed it either. I think the /html was a quick workaround when mention of the annoying flash screen was raised last month, but the /html pages were'nt updated. I've done this before with my own page.

I tried hyperlinks on two epub files created by Calibre as news feeds, the Wall Street Journal and Slate. They both worked fine.

Can you explain the procedure you used to follow an internal link?

Hit the 0 key on a page with hyperlinks. The first such link gets underlined, use 9 and 0 keys to move the underline between hyperlinks on the page, once the right hyperlink is underlined, hit OK.

That did not work in my epub. The 0 took me to the next page. What do you see when you hit the menu button on a page with links? Did you do this on the 6" or the 5" EZReader?

It's possible that Calibre is outputting TOC code with links that work, and some otherwise crafted ePubs are using hyperlink code that's not working. We need two public domain ePubs, one that works and one that doesn't, so we can compare the hyperlink code in the two!

@hyegeek: are you SURE you've properly upgraded your firmware to the latest? (Anyone: how do you find the current firmware revision in the EZ-Reader? What's the latest revision numbers?)

Yep, it fixed one of the bugs that was introduced.

slm · 09-10-2009, 02:31 PM

Attached (I hope) is a file that works

hyegeek · 09-10-2009, 03:05 PM

No links worked in that document on my 6" Astak EZReader.

To clarify, I was able to navigate the TOC and that worked fine. It is internal links that don't work.

Can you specify an internal link in the WSJ.epub file that didn't work?

hyegeek · 09-10-2009, 04:11 PM

I just brought it up in fbreader as a second program to try things from (fbreader also makes the distinction between links and toc obvious) and it looks like there are no internal links in that document.

hyegeek · 09-10-2009, 04:15 PM

From an email I just got from Astak support

"New FW (Support hyperlink on ePub) will be release in the next 2 days"

This is good news.
