Navigation panel stuck in New York Times

pa_ubach · 01-04-2014, 09:38 AM

Dear all,

I am using the New York Times (Web) recipe to fetch the paper and load it to my Sony Reader PRS-T3. By the way, I am new to the Reader device as I am also new to Calibre.

Everything seems to work right, but after reading a few pages of the newspaper, suddenly the Reader navigation panel pops up (and the EPUB's navigation bar disappears) and I can't find a way to recover the original layout. I have tried everything in the Reader to hide the navigation panel, but without success. In fact, in the navigation panel I get under this behavior, there is only the [Table of Contents] button. And by tapping the page number at the bottom of the screen, I can switch to the reminiding buttons in the Navigation panel.

The only solution I find is to transfer again the file from Calibre to the Sony Reader to revert the [mis]behavior.

I don't know what exactly triggers this bug. I will post again as soon as I find out.

Has anyone else felt this problem?

Thanks!

I have found another user experiencing the same problem:

The sony reader's periodical format is only partialy reverse engineered, therefore there can occassionally be issues with periodicals. I suggest changing your output profile in calibre to generix e-ink device, then the sony format will not be used and you will be able to read the periodical as a regular book.
