unable to open ePub

mauriz · 09-27-2022, 04:28 PM

hi,
I have a problem with the ePub files which have been firstly opened with Pages, the ebook reading app on Mac

If i try to read with Calibre an ePub firstly opened with Pages, Calibre opens and nothing happens without error messages.

The ePub firstly opened with Pages are transferred in a specific folder, and renamed with a random alphanuneric string. if i bring the ePub outside the Pages folder and rename it, it's the same, Calibre doesn't open it - without error messages.

any idea or suggestion?
with many thanks
Maurizio

Pages is a word processing app, not an ebook app.

opena bug report and attach one of these epub files.

As far as I recall, on a Mac, the OS tends to unpack the epub .zip container into a directory while calibre's editor is looking for the zip container.
