Hi Carlos,
thanks for the report!
Welcome. I have been actually reading the book while lying in bed, my favourite reading place, something I could not do since the paper one disappeared :-)
* The file is "huge". All my ebooks are 0.1 or 0.2 MB - the reference book is 5 MB, that's huge. Perhaps you are not using compression?
Hmn, we do use compression. After investigating further, the images are to blame. :) Ok, we should create smaller images.
Ah, could be that. I show one image, it is too small to be readable on my ereader. And a table overflowed the page (chapter 6).
* It does not show a cover page, it shows instead the “about this guide page”.
Ahh, right. That's a bug. I'll open a bug
Thanks.
* The page numbers go from 1 to the end of the book, instead of being numbered per chapter. This means that when I open the book the reader has to render the whole file, which is slower than rendering just a chapter.
That's the first time I hear of this feature. As the EPUB is more or less XHTML, I can't influence any page numbers. I guess, this is something that is influenced by your reader.
I don't know how this is done, because I tried myself with ebooks I generated (I don't remember if with Calligra or Calibre - I don't have any installed on my laptop and I'm not at home to check). Anyway, it is something that I have not managed to replicate when I generate epubs. When I buy a book for the kobo, each chapter has its own numbering, page 1 to 45, say. The next chapter goes from 1 to 30, etc. And each chapter is loaded separately - I guess they are separate files, but I can not know because of the DRM protection. When I generate an ebook I get the same results as you do: continuous page numbering that do not match the page changes.
* Typographic choices do not differentiate, everything is in the same font. Almost.
That shouldn't be. The styling is mostly done by CSS. I've tested it in Calibre.
If I were at home I'd scan how the device renders each font from the description page and you'd see what I mean. It could be a bug of the kobo ereader, so it would be interesting to hear from other people reports and compare.
Maybe some of those quirks are peculiarities of the Kobo ereader, I do not know. Maybe the epubs have to be customized for each device by the user using calligra, for instance. I can not try that at the moment.
Unfortunately, I can only test our EPUBs with Calibre. I don't own a EPUB reader so it's hard to test them in different environments.
Pity.
Additionally, the devices support different features.
Very true...
Thanks!
