[opensuse] Calibre question
HI all, I use Calibre to convert ebook files from Mobi or TXT to epub. But when I try to read the new epub file on my Trekstor reader I get "Invaid file format". Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! JIM -- Check out my stamp & postcard collection! Yankee GO HOME!

Try running unzip -t on the file - epub files are just zip files, so if unzip can test it, that'll tell you if it's at least a valid zip file. Otherwise, some additional information - version of calibre, version of opensuse, how you installed calibre, for a start - would be useful.

I'm using calibre 0.8.52 with 12.1 Suse. I installed calibre by Yast. It seems to work This is what I got when I unziped one epub file: warthog@linux-4qfd:~/Calibre Library/Unknown/Angel Chronicles 03 (68)> unzip - t Angel\ Chronicles\ 03\ -\ Unknown.epub Archive: Angel Chronicles 03 - Unknown.epub testing: mimetype OK testing: META-INF/ OK testing: META-INF/container.xml OK testing: index_split_017.html OK testing: index_split_002.html OK testing: index_split_013.html OK testing: index_split_021.html OK testing: index_split_012.html OK testing: index_split_018.html OK testing: index_split_008.html OK testing: index_split_020.html OK testing: index_split_004.html OK testing: index-4_1.png OK testing: content.opf OK testing: index_split_010.html OK testing: index_split_019.html OK testing: index_split_005.html OK testing: index_split_007.html OK testing: index-3_1.png OK testing: index_split_011.html OK testing: index-1_1.png OK testing: index_split_015.html OK testing: index_split_009.html OK testing: stylesheet.css OK testing: index_split_001.html OK testing: index_split_014.html OK testing: index_split_003.html OK testing: index_split_000.html OK testing: titlepage.xhtml OK testing: toc.ncx OK testing: index_split_016.html OK testing: index_split_006.html OK testing: cover.jpeg OK testing: index_split_022.html OK testing: META-INF/calibre_bookmarks.txt OK No errors detected in compressed data of Angel Chronicles 03 - Unknown.epub.

Can you open and read any of those html files? Just use a web browser. Calibre can not decrypt encrypted books like those purchased thru Amazon. (There are plugins written by others that will allow you to get around this restriction, and i routinely decrypt my books). -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
