I've just migrated all my data to a new MacBook Pro M1... Kepubify was on the old MacBook running Big Sur and worked fine. On the new M1 it won't install as 'the creator can't be verified' or some such dialogue generated. So I downloaded again from Patrick's site and tried to install but to no avail. But I'm a beginner with the Terminal and it could be I typed the wrong command when installing. The file is in the downloads folder.

I put it in the Applications folder then tried again. This time a dialogue asked if I would "allow it anyway" which I did. Now seems to be working OK. Thank you.

I've been at it a few hours now, and have searched the forum without finding a mention.
Anyhoo, Win10 is telling me to contact the software publisher for a version that works with my PC. Am running Win10 x64 and using the Kepubify x64 version. Also, don't suppose there's a GUI for Kepubify anywhere? Thanks in advance! |

@geek1011 Can the huge books be correctly processed?
I used kepubify v3 for a book of 27000 pages; it is the complete work of Victor Hugo. Maybe you'll be interested in doing some tests* because the result of the rendering is just a bunch of blank pages. 2 remarks : - the generated kepub file is perfectly readable with sumatra - the conversion with the Calibre plugin is not successful. *I send it to you in mp |

Did you put it on you Kobo device? You say you read it with Sumatra, but, as a kepub is a valid epub, that would be expected if the original epub worked. On the device, it would be a different matter. |

I have recently changed the Calibre conversion plugins by replacing
KePub Metadata Reader KePub Metadata Writer Kobo Touch Extended with the unique Kepub Ouput Calibre. Here is the final log The publisher is specialized in the publication of anthologies of classical authors of French, Greek or Latin literature. We find these huge books for Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, Jules Vernes, Aristotle or Plato... I understand of course the complexity of managing such large files... I installed the epub and kepub version (via kepubify) on my Kobo. Only the original epub version is correctly displayed. Then I just checked with Sumatra the readability of the kepub which was perfectly rendered. Do you want an mp copy of this 32MB epub? |

Concerning this "kepubified Victor Hugo", I noticed this detail this morning, the icon of the choice of the font and its size 'Aa' does not appear in the options during the reading (empty pages) New noticeable element : this morning, I just tested two other books (kepubified) from the same publisher (34MB and 11MB); these 2 huge books are correctly displayed which is great news. |

What I've seen is the import starts at 6% and continues until it reaches 94% at which point the import jumps to done. If you have say 11 books being added, the slider will move from 6 to 14 to 22 ... 86 94. With one book, it sits at 6% and jumps to 94%/done.

Firstly, looking at the epub with the calibre editor didn't show any issues. Except size. There are over 6000 internal files. The ToC is a mix bag. Some of the books only have the title, some have a "Part" and some have chapters. But, it is long. Putting the ePub on the ereader worked with no issues. Except for how many pages the ToC takes. Going through that is painful. Then I converted to kepub. That took about 19 minutes. There were no errors. When I put that on the ereader, again there were no issues. The import took a bit longer. And it opened with no problems. This was were I thought I was see a problem. When a kepub is first opened, reader does a word count of each internal file and stores that in the database. The last time I tried a big book, it triggered the sickil process watcher to restart the device. In fact it did it several times until the chapters had been counted. And for those that don't know, this word count is used for the chapter bar graph. I then tried the KoboTouchExtended driver. This took about 6 minutes to transform and send the book. And again, there were no issues on the device. I have to admit to being surprised. I was expecting this to kill the device either as it was being imported, or when it was opened. But, it doesn't. The construction of the book fairly simple with no big file. The ToC isn't that big, so is being loaded properly. And there has probably been some changes to the way the word count is done since the last time I tried a large book. It might have happened when Kobo changed how they calculated the full book page count. |

For the record, it took kepubify v3.1.6 21 seconds to convert the book on a laptop with a Ryzen 3500U, 8GB RAM, and a PM981 SSD.
