Missing and scrambled text in azw to epub conversion
I'm using the Calibre plug in to convert an azw3 purchased from Amazon to epub. There are no errors reported during conversion, but the resulting file has missing / scrambled text (see kindle1.jpg vs. epub1.jpg
and kindle2.jpg and epub2.jpg. ) . In that second example, at least a page of text at the end of the chapter is completely missing. Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing these issues and how I could fix them? Thanks! Last edited by maxbookworm; 02-10-2014 at 02:32 PM. |

so what does the original look like using a KINDLE viewer(not Calibre)
This sort of looks like a 2 column OCR (gone bad) |

Probably a fixed layout azw3. Though it's difficult to be certain without access ot the file.

I couldn't duplicate the problem with the sample file:
http://www.amazon.com/Secret-History...=UTF8&sr=&qid= Although I can't say for certain what will happen with the complete book. |

Kovid -- would it be helpful to send the file? Just for debugging purposes? Let me know, I'd be happy to.
