All my books are EPUB, some of them converted from AZW3. What I do in Calibre after importing a book: - Convert to EPUB, if it wasn't already in that format - Remove all other formats except EPUB - Remove all categories, add my own - Import/update metadata, especially author and series info - Embed the metadata in the EPUB file using the "Embed metadata" function That last action is critical; before I did that, Marvin for example wouldn't show that data. I don't see why MapleRead shouldn't be able to just take embedded metadata, if embedded in the ebook, and show it after the download. I don't want to have to do it manually in every ebook aber the download. |

You have the correct sorting method in MapleRead to show series? Series are not shown in every sorting method… Last edited by Wiggo; 08-16-2023 at 07:32 AM. |

I have had some problems with MapleRead SE. So I decided to delete and reinstall. That fixed the problems, but I also lost my userinstalled font ChareInk. I then tried to reinstall the font as described in the Mapleread FAQ.
But here I received the following error message: "Font installation failed. Can't install a font file embedding a font family name that is already taken." I can install other fonts using the procedure but not ChareInk that is my favorite font for iPad reading. The font ChareInk is also present and used in Marvin. I have tried to rename the font using a Typograf program. That went well enough, but the error persits. The fonts are in Windows 10. The IOS is v16.6. Is there som setting i IOS thst forbids the reinstall? |

I have tried the other weighted versions. But they are IMO too heavy. ChareInk is just right for me.
However I have found a solution:
ChareInk is now avaiable in the font menus For no good reason I also has Mapleread CE. It also lost the ChareInk font when I reinstalled MapleRead SE. But the procedure also worked there. Last edited by svenlind; 08-18-2023 at 05:41 AM. |

So clearly the error message after installation came up, because the font was already installed and there. I’m only wondering that ChareInk is at Custom Fonts, but I don't remember what it was like for me.
But anyway, all's well that ends well. |

iCloud backup
I have been using Marvin 3 for years and realize it is time I need to move on. I looked at many of the available ereaders and believe, from what I have seen, that Mapleread is the best for my needs.
One major concern I have is the lack of backup to the iCloud….and this may be just my lack of understanding on how iCloud backup works…..or nor?? If I am using Mapleread, have hundreds of books in my library, and am using iCloud to backup my iPad…..and my iPad dies….will the app and all the books be restore when I do an iCloud restore to my replacement iPad? |

@svenlind: How did you install ChareInk the first time? I just tried to reproduce your problems and for me it looks like you installed it first time not via MapleRead, otherwise it would not have been in custom types.

I really can't remember I think it was in the same way. I have Mapleread on other iPads. There the ChareInk is avaiable in the font menus, but is not seen in the Custom Menu.

But actually it doesn't matter and the main thing is that it works again. I’m just curious |

At least you could do a manual backup of you MR library. Edit: wait, sync is only for reading positions and annotations I think Last edited by Wiggo; 08-20-2023 at 03:44 PM. |

When I used Marvin I was able to use the following to mark a passage and then call up Bear and it would automatically put the passage in Bear. I’m not a coder … I’d like it to be able to be run in MapleRead, copy the text into Bear and return to MapleRead.
- [ ] bear://x-callback-url/create?title={author}:%20{title}&text=Kapitel:%20/{chapter}/%0A*%C2%AB{text}%C2%BB*&mode=append&x-success=marvin3: This is working great in Marvin but want it to work in MapleRead. |

Yes, I remember that. It was not specifically a Marvin functionality, but an iOS interface that was later considered a security risk and therefore desupported by Apple.
