Blank books after upgrade to 3.3

jimtorr · 07-09-2017, 08:11 PM

I just upgraded to Calibre 3.3. I use an Apple iPad, reading books on iBooks. Have been using Calibre to download books to tablet for years, very happy.

After I upgraded to 3.3 today, I downloaded several books to iPad, and moved them to iBooks. Cover is present in app, but I get only a blank screen when I open the books.

The ebooks that were already in iBooks are the same. Covers, but blank content.

If books already in iBooks are showing up blank, then I dont see how it could possibly have anything to do with calibre. Sounds like the problem is in iBooks.

I found the problem. One of the ebooks in my library has a bug, I guess, that is sabotaging iBooks. When I restart iBooks and open any other book, text is there, no problems. Once I open the bad book, that one and all others are blank, until I once again restart iBook.

Bug, virus, whatever......I'll discard that book file the old-fashioned way, remove the file from the library folder.
