Fanfics won't open in Ebook Reader After update
Hi, I just updated my Calibre to the latest version from Calibre4 and updated all of my plugins, and tried to open the Anthologies that I merged from chapters and books of series from AO3. I can't open many of those that have been merged but some seem fine. The actual book series I've merged are fine but I have no clue what is wrong with the FFs that won't open. I have successfully downloaded new FFs from AO3 and merged them and they open fine.

Thanks in advance

This is the details of one of the books that won't open:

calibre, version 6.8.0

If it's a 64-bit Windows 10, install the latest Calibre 6 and see what happens.

I think you might have misunderstood that this happened after I had already upgraded to 6 and updated all the plugins. It stopped opening after the upgrade

I'm at a loss as to what's going on. Maybe someone else can come up with some suggestions.

And if that has the same problems, how did you create these anthologies?

They appear to be invalid zips (EPUB is rebadged zip that must conform to a specific structure)

I created them with either the "anthology" option in FFF or Epubmerge plugin but they were separate books from the same series and I was able to keep updating them so probably FFF. I was playing around with one of them and found that I could open it as a mobi but not an epub. I still don't understand why that is though.

Open it as MOBI with what?

If a dedicated MOBI reader, like the old MobiPocket reader then that would suggest it's a 'real' MOBI, that has somehow acquired '.EPUB' at the end of it's file name.

Can FFF create 'anthologies' as .MOBI's?
