Text missing and dictionary problems
I'm a new - and rather irritated - owner of brand new 350. It's a great little thing but I'm now at the end of my rope.
Book is from mobileread library - H. Beam Piper omnibus Terro-Human Future History. I didn't try other books. It was transferred to the reader first time with explorer copy/paste and second time with Calibre. Problems are manifesting on both occasions. Problem 1 - when reading in S size parts of text are missing but can be seen in M or XS. I found some messages in the forum about this problem, but they are old and offer no help. My guess - a problem with rendering pages when it comes to this particular size. Anyone familiar with this and can offer any kind of solution? Problem 2 - some parts of text cannot be selected - to add a note or call a dictionary. This is consistent through all font sizes (or at least XS, S and M I tried). Have no idea what can cause this. Opened epub in Sigil and looked and the code. Nothing to indicate reason for such behaviour. DrS |

Is this is the book you are referring to? If so then if you read the thread you will see that the uploader has acknowledged that there is a problem with the HTML coding in this epub. See posts #8 and #9
No guarantees, but if you are a Calibre user, you could try running an EPUB-->EPUB conversion to see if sorts out the problem. Last edited by jackie_w; 06-27-2011 at 12:48 PM. |

Well, I did epub to epub conversion and it didn't help. Is this book a lemon or can I look forward to such experiences again?

Sounds like a problem with that particular book. Why don't you try some other books and see if you have problems with them as well?
