1) The viewer in calibre doesn't view EPUB files. It's probably viewing the LRF version.
2) If both LRF and EPUB formats are present for a book, the GUI preferentially transfers the EPUB file to the reader Probably you're trying to read the LRF file? You can delete the LRF version of the book using the edit metadata dialog. |

Is it possible that the viewer in calibre is using my stanza installation to view the epub?
Issue really is that the sony reader won't read the epub file when it is transfered by calibre (Mac osx) to the reader! Mitch |

oh yeah if you have some other epub reaing capable software then calibre will launch that to view the epub file. I can't think of any reason that would cause invalid epub files to be produces only on OS X. Can you attach one of these files, or send it to me (alongwith the source file so I can test).

Updated 505 reader. Although my computer seems to be acting strange with this stuff the last few days. I corrected the .86 issue by reinstalling. I'm going to shut it all down, erase the epub books and try again. If the same issue, I will send book to Kovid.
Thanks mitch |

I made a epub file but it added a paragraph break between each paragraph. I kind of liked the way the LRF files had the indents. All my html source files have <p> for each paragraph because for converting to LRF that would indent each paragraph but not add a paragraph break between them. I didn't really look forward to changing the html code if I don't have to. So I'd really appreciate any and all help to get the epub files to look like the my LRF versions.

html2epub doesn't actually change the HTML code more than is strictly neccessary. What does the html that generates the blank lines look like?

I had a question about the metadata. In Calibre, I have the author field filled in but in the adobe editions viewing program it shows author "unknown"
should I try another epub viewer? or is the metadata really there but Adobe Editions just won't display it? |

Hello there Kovid,
Some feedback: Converted a 0,5 MB homemade Reader-customized PDF. The result was an epub that had lost all format, font, font size, paragraph... It had also added number pages (which I had not) in strange little squares in the middle of the text, where the page turn had been. Last but not least, the pages show medium grey instead of white. Not just a little darker. The book cover was OK. |

you can check the metadata in a aprticular epub file by running the command
Code:
epub-meta filename.epub |
