Atlantis Word Processor - ePub creation tool - Page 24

Sorry. I am removing the formatting. Some others may have different CSS classes for H3, I don't know for which reasons. Anyway, I am testing my flow and I don't have different H3 classes in one eBook.

And I am cleanning it to make it compliant with KDP rules.

A friend of mine reads his eBooks on Android systems and informed me that the Atlantis made eBook would not open in Android using either Aldiko, FBReader, or some other readers. He said the same eBook would open on his PC in ADE. I tried the same book on my iPad and it was ok using several readers. I opened the eBook in Sigil and resaved it with no changes and then it would open fine on his Android system with any of his eBook readers. I have no idea why this would be so although Sigil did a bit of rearranging as it always does.

How about FBReader for Windows? Does it open that "Atlantis EPUB" correctly?

Could you email the following files to support@AtlantisWordProcessor.com:

– the source document file (RTF, DOC, DOCX, or ODT),
– the "faulty" Atlantis EPUB,
– the EPUB file modified by Sigil?

DaleDe · 08-10-2013, 01:06 AM

I have submitted the required documents. FBReader for Windows and FBReader for Android are nothing alike. The latest Windows version was done 3 years ago. The Android version is done in Java by a different person. I do not think you can even compare one with the other.

Thanks for the files.

I have installed the latest public version of FBReader 1.8.2 to my Sony PRS-T1 (Android version 2.2.1).

I also installed the latest beta version of FBReader 2.0 (beta 8) to Nexus One (Android version 4.3) under the Android emulator from the Android SDK.

In both cases, FBReader opened your Atlantis EPUB without a problem.

I cannot say why your friend cannot open EPUB files generated by Atlantis. But it is very unlikely that the problem is with the Atlantis EPUBs. Otherwise there would be plenty of complaints from other users.

But it's impossible to imagine M. Proust using a word processor, so your point is well taken. I look forward to trying Atlantis on my next book (which probably totals about 205 pages, with 13 chapters).

No matter how many chapters you have in your document, and how long they are, you can convert it to EPUB with Atlantis Word Processor.

But if there are "too long" (300+ KB) chapters in your source document, Atlantis might save each of them as multiple XHTMLs.

The check for "too long" chapters can be disabled in Atlantis. Here is how to proceed:

1. Close all running copies of Atlantis (if any).

2. Press WinKey+R to open the "Run" dialog.

3. Type "regedit" (without quotes), and press Enter.

4. Open the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Atlantis Word Processor\LoadSave

5. Double-click the "Ebook300KB" value, type "0" in the "Value" box, and click OK.

After that Atlantis would not check your documents for "too long" chapters when saving as EPUB. But note that older eReaders might have difficulties with opening EPUBs containing 300+ KB XHTMLs.

Large sections might also make other readers run quite slowly and take a long time to reformat when changing text size.

Thank you, looks excellent, but the download link does not work. I was too fast, it is there now.

What I would love to see in an e-book-friendly word processor is a set of WordStar "diamond" commands. I have such a command set for my copy of Word 2000 and it makes life ever so much easier.

awp · 10-18-2013, 06:03 PM

The hot keys in Atlantis Word Processor are fully customizable (use the "Tools | Hot Keys..." menu command).

I promised a review of Atlantis word processor. Please check our wiki under AWP Review. I will likely be adding some more to it. Comments welcome.
