Aldiko ? Somewhat freeware for tablets and smartphones ?? Actually which platform, Android ??? I can understand, that's neccessary to support Prestigio, since it's the most populare piece of hardware in your region. If any freeware can't handle correct spelled code, toss it out. |

mmh, slowly i run out of ideas. I'll give it a last try tomorrow.
What's about avoiding uppercase Stylenames and bulleted Lists, splitting the large file ? Maybe we don't find out, why prestigio needs a callibre-convertion, but i would like to hear that we fixed that book. Quote:

They do have some technical supports and I already told some users to call them and complain about the issue. As I already said this was not cheap reader, not at all. But very bad quality to my opinion. Last edited by The CB; 03-17-2012 at 05:34 PM. |

Your callibre conversions always work on Prestigio, except for this book. I think you did something new/different, that causes the different behaviour. (Thats's why i asked if you used bulleted lists before). Or the book has some new features. However the code, calibre produces looks almost clean. So it's up to us to guess, what causes the failure. Since it's a specific issue on Prestigio, all approaches to solve the problem have the smell of "unusual" or "unprobable". But the problem is still there, unusual or not.... What you can do is to systemtically test all unprobable features, if they are the reason for the fault, as

This is my last attemt to get a grip on the global "have to run it through callibre" issue.
It's the same as 85f plus perfect unix-style line breaks. Can you test it on the Prestigio ? |

I'd like to suggest creating a small epub in Sigil which uses a stylesheet, in 3 or 4 section/chapter files, also which has several home rolled styles similar in appearance to what you would desire. Check that file on Prestigio, than do a epub-epub convert in calibre and try that and see what differences there are on device and if it doesn't work from Sigil.

I must conclude so far nothing. @mmat1 the file you made - no changes, all is the same as before. The file where I made style changes: no list, bold to font weight 800, CB to cb, split that big file into two and again it didn''t work, and after converting lost styles. I noticed it recognise only format of heading styles as centered nothing else. I can suggest people to avoid Prestigio :-) Thank you so much all for your suggestions, and mmat1 for all your effort.

Can you try testing this file on the Prestigio.
It has several styles from the css. Also try it on whatever readers you want to see what should be displayed. If it doesn't work on Prestigio, try a convert in calibre, and if that then displays can you post that converted epub back here. Testfile - Perkin.epub |

So, why not make a book with left-aligned headings ? |

Ok here @Perkin's file. Prestigio could open only one page of the original file, after conversion here is the link how the file looks like and how it is displayed on the Prestigio. I must say I was confused with the photo IMG-7025 because it dsiplayed styles ok then I noticed that user i asked to do this test while converting generated cover page from the first page of epub. Anyway, now we have all styles centered even those left aligned. I have huge problem because I don't own Prestigio myself to do all the test I want and getting frustrated with that.
Ok here is EPUB after conversion Code:
