Calibre won't open .epub file

leo9999 · 12-16-2013, 02:55 AM

Hello. Suddenly I can't open .epub file in calibre viewer. I get the following traceback

calibre, version 1.15.0
ERROR: Could not open ebook: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/viewer/main.py", line 40, in run

IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Any help will be greatly appreciated

That error indicates calibre cannot write to its stdout, which usually happens if youa re on linux and run calibre from a terminal without using --detach and then close the terminal.
