EPUB output

[JeffElkins]

calibre.ebooks.epub.split.SplitError: Could not find reasonable point at which to split:

In this case the conversion is abandoned.

Edit: Never mind on this one. I checked the formatting and the entire book was one giant paragraph. Must have been a bad conversion job I never checked.

[kovidgoyal]

yeah the splitting code needs at least multiple <p> tags.

Converted an rtf to epub and it looks great in digital editions. Tried to sent it to my 505 through calibre and got this error message:

Job: Upload 1 books to device:calibre_0.4.86_p9_GUj
ValueError: The reader has no storage card connected.
Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre/gui2/device.pyo", line 20, in run
File "calibre/gui2/device.pyo", line 141, in _upload_books
File "calibre/devices/prs505/driver.pyo", line 403, in upload_books
ValueError: The reader has no storage card connected.

With the previous version of calibre this never happened, I never have a card in the device. So, I just dragged the file into the device's media folder. On the 505 it displayed with a darkened screen color. In addition it did not display the correct title or author info in the 505 book list.

I converted another rtf to epub, tired to send it the device with calibre and received the same error message. Dragged it over manually and it also did not display the correct book info in the book list, although the pages of the book displayed normally.

Then I installed an sd card in the 505 and sent 2 epub files to the device via calibre, though they were loaded on the sd card not the device. Inof displayed correctly in the book list. I prefer to have my files on the device not the card.

wazzup?

the default in the beta and after is to copy to the memory card. Make sure you have calibre configured to send to the main memory.

thanks for the quick and simple reply.
How do I set cailbre to send files to the main memory?

Check the config dialog. Or, perhaps you use the drop down arrow next to send-to-device to set it. I can't remember exactally how to set it and don't have calibre on this machine.

thanks again, its the drop down arrow

It's the down-arrow next to send to device.

[scottsan]

I was confirming that your direction was correct.

I'm flabbergasted by your talents, kovid, and I've been spending the last 14 hours converting everything I have over to epub --- and I completely forgot to say thank you for all your fantastic efforts! In a sense, you're the guy behind the wheel of the ebook/eink/epub revolution/evolution these days!

Thanks, that's good to hear. But I would suggest you look over the results of some of the conversions, as the code is far from mature. I don't have the time to devote to as much testing as this needs, so I'm relying (as usual) on the mobileread community to do it for me

I know I'm missing something obvious, but here goes: Running Max OS X I convert a book to epub. I transfer it to the storage card on the reader, it shows present. (book is readable through the viewer in calibre). When I go to read it on the reader, the book is in the index, but shows one page, which when viewed, shows an error.

I loaded two epub books on a windows machine to my reader and can read both perfectly well.

What's happening?
