EDIT: ADE 2.01 is running on a Windows 10 PC. Now, the formatting wasn't to MY particular preference, as there were spaces between the paragraphs, and headings were left aligned, unlike the original print books where they were centered, but the book was perfectly readable, the navigation worked, and I really couldn't see any problem AT ALL that should phase the average reader. Because it worked with Adobe 2.01, it should also open up on an older Sony, Nook, and of course Kobo readers. I opened 'er up in Sigil, ran the epubCheck plugin, valid. CSS also valid except for some ebook specific stuff and there wasn't much of that. I can guarantee that many big publisher books don't pass epubCheck. Are you sure the book doesn't work (i.e. unreadable, unnavigable, unopenable), or is it just that you don't care for the formatting? Last edited by graycyn; 04-14-2023 at 02:59 PM. |

Find it funny that Jon is constantly at people to upgrade Calibre (and upgrade their version of Windows if they can't run the newest Calibre) but he won't upgrade his ADE

StandardEbooks do have covers. It's just the way the books are formatted. The cover isn't the first xhtml file. I open the books with Sigil and use Add Cover to fix it. (I also justify the text.)

StandardEbooks is a curious case. It seems they are trying to squeeze something sensible out of the dumb HTML while a real book-tailored XML would do the job much easier.
Oh and apparently someone tried to reproduce the MOBI index functionality in EPUB... failing miserably. |

I hadn't heard of Standard Ebooks before. And it's not really something I have a huge interst in. But because of "certain people" and their odd complaints I suddenly feel "gosh, I really need to support this site..." Go figure...
