How to convert from epub 3 to epub2?
Hello,
my E-book reader can not show an e-book from a library cause "This book contains multimedia content" (but it is just a normal book). I read there is a new epub3 file format, and that my reader can not open it. Maybe this is the problem? How can I convert from epub 3 to epub2? I am a new user, and was only able to get a "original_epub" file. |

Oh, I now looked at the metadata and it is an epub2 book:
<package xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" unique-identifier="uuid_id" version="2.0"> |

How old of a device, is the Tolino?
The internal pieces of the EPUB2 may just be too big (>260K) or have too high of a cover resolution. This was a common issue for early devices. If you have your device model/type set into the Welcome Wizard, simply doing an Epub -> Epub conversion should split the internals of the book to more manageable chunks. This assumes you have not adjusted the conversion settings away from defaults . Note: Once you have converted a book, Calibre remembers the settings use FOR THAT BOOK. You must click Restore Defaults (or tick if bulk converting) at the bottom of the conversion Dialog Box |

Thank you for your answer. The name of my device is "tolino shine 3", it is about one year old. Unfortunately I can not remember the settings I did in the Welcome Wizard. The profile I used for the conversion is called Generic e-inc.

Do an epub to epub conversion that will often fix these issues.

Thanks, I tried to convert it with this command:
ebook-convert 2018_Book_RechenmethodenFürStudierendeDe.epub new_2018_Book_RechenmethodenFürStudierendeDe.epub but without sucess. If I open the new file on the e-book reader the reader crashes. While converting, the programm reported The cover image has an id != "cover". Renaming to work around bug in Nook Color, is this a problem? |

No thats not a problem. Try converting to MOBI and then convert the mobi back to epub that shoud discard most advanced formatting
