[iPad] Books won't open

helyan · 10-12-2021, 07:18 AM

Hi there!

I've been having a problem with some books. I always edit my books a bit (maybe change the cover, or add more tags, etc., never the main content of them) before uploading them to icloud and downloading them on my ipad. However, some of these books open to a blank page (on the top part appears the name of the author and the title of the book, that's it), like if they were empty. I have checked them before uploading, opening them on my pc and they work perfectly so I don't know what the issue could be and how to solve it.

Thank you in advance!

Converting them to mobi and then to epub again did the trick. Thank you so much!
