Single Chaper eScape Page Limit
I am creating a book in eScape and chapter 7 in my book is 56 pages long in the eScape template. This seems to break the ability of my Sony 505 to read the end ePub result. Calibre ebook viewer opens the book just fine and the ebook passes epubcheck. Removing this one and only chapter renders the book readable on my 505. Also a new book containing this one and only chapter ruins the book again. Anyone from Infogrid eScape have any ideas? Otherwise eScape is performing very well!

The EPUB reader on the Reader has a 300KB limit on a single flow. Splitting the long chapter in two files should work.

eScape Question & Suggestion
When I create an ePub with eScape, the cover is not centered on my Sony 505. Anyone know where in the CSS I can fix this? Or is this what the processor is doing regardless of the CSS?
I created a macro in Open Office Writer called Auto Chapter. It automatically searches for the word "Chapter" and inserts the body-Chapter-igp style before it. It then selects the "Chapter XX" line and sets the style to title-num-igp. Next, it sets the subtitle to title-sub-igp. This macro only works when there are subtitles though. When there are no subtitles it fails miserably. It would be great if the Macro ignored the word chapter if it is part of a paragraph and skip the subtitle if it doesn't exist between the chapter and first paragraph. Anyone out there with more Open Office Macro experience? I think it would be very handy to have the macros embedded in the eScape template along with an embedded toolbar. Open Office Writer seems to have the facilities for both. Thanks everyone! eScape is is the best solution I've found so far to create ePubs. I love it! |

The long awaited Linux version of eScape is now available as a debian package. You can download it here. There are no new features in this version, just Linux-ization.

1. Create ePub with escape but do not specify any kind of cover 2. Import escape created epub into Calibre 3. Convert Individually with Calibre using the below settings: Metadata: untick use cover source from file after uploading book cover
Look & Feel: Base Font size 0pt Base Setup: default (PRS 505) Chapter Detection: default (nothing ticked) |

The best choice is to use AZARDI. This lets you open the ePub for editing, make any changes you need to make and repackage the ePub. It designed for touch-ups and small changes really, but if you are advanced enough in CSS and XHTML you can use it to do anything. You can download AZARDI here |

I'm having trouble downloading and installing the eScape .ott with OpenOffice. When I click the link to download igp-eScape-book-template.ott it returns a web page full of symbols rather than a file I can use as a template. I guess the answer is simple if you know how. Help would be much appreciated.

And it will work directly with Word files/formats. I just hope it doesn't get "disappeared" with the Oracle acquisition of Sun... |

Software Comparison
I am not trying to knock your product but I read through your website and I have to say that I didn't see your product as any different from the two programs that I use for ebooks and EPUB. I did notice that it does seem to lack a few features that I am using now.
The two programs that I use are Calibre for converting and managing my books and it does support the Open Office ODT file format for converting. I also use Sigil to edit and create my EPUBs. I am curious how you see your products as different or better than these two software packages. I would also mention both of them are Open Source GPL and both come in Linux, Mac and Windows flavors. Both have highly active communities and are updated regularly. I am not knocking your product but I am curious about how you think they compare. |
