sort by author operates on two fields the author sort field and and if that is empty the author field. Make sure that the author sort field is correct for books that appear to be sorting incorrectly.

Hi
I downloaded an epub file from Adobe DE site. When I tried to add it to Calibre's library, I get the following error: not an .epub OCF container Detailed traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 445, in add_books File "main.py", line 457, in _add_books File "calibre\ebooks\metadata\meta.pyo", line 71, in get_metadata File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\metadata\ epub.py", line 96, in get_metadata File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\metadata\ epub.py", line 80, in __init__ File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\metadata\ epub.py", line 59, in __init__ EPubException: not an .epub OCF container Any Idea what the issue could be ? Has it something to do with DRM? |

I am not sure how to check if the file is indeed an epub document. Any suggestions? |

Does this particular file open in ADE? If so, e-mail me a copy (<llasram@gmail.com>) -- even if it's DRMed calibre should still be able to read the metadata.

Actually, I did try embedding Times New Roman in something and the page turns are fast now. They do not take the long time they used to. Embedding fonts now is actually good. Page turns are not too slow like they used to be.

Italics are GONE!
I'm using 0.4.83 and when I use lit2lrf, I get no italics at all. I've gone back to some earlier version and italics are fine.

Hmm. There's no change in the HTML->LRF conversion code between versions 0.4.82 and 0.4.83. Kovid did switch the default for lit2lrf extraction from ConvertLIT to lit2oeb, but I'm not sure what sort of bug could cause just italics to fail. Could you e-mail me a book showing this behavior?

Odd... it's now working fine. I don't know why it wasn't working before.

Hi there,
New to the forum. Currently researching e-book readers now that I am taking the bus to/from work. I came across your software as I was looking into the Sony PRS505. anyways I have a bunch of lit files, not sure where they came from originally but I tried to convert one using your lit2lrf utility but it is spitting back on error. I am using the latest version from bzr and do have ConvertLIT installed as well(I think that was mentioned as needed.) Here is the error output: Code:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/lit2lrf", line 8, in <module> load_entry_point('calibre==0.4.84b9', 'console_scripts', 'lit2lrf')() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/calibre/ebooks/lrf/lit/convert_from.py", line 85, in main process_file(args[1], options, logger) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/calibre/ebooks/lrf/lit/convert_from.py", line 37, in process_file tdir = generate_html(lit, logger) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/calibre/ebooks/lrf/lit/convert_from.py", line 26, in generate_html lr = LitReader(pathtolit) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/calibre/ebooks/lit/reader.py", line 449, in __init__ self._read_drm() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/calibre/ebooks/lit/reader.py", line 647, in _read_drm msdes.deskey(self._calculate_deskey(), msdes.DE1) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'deskey' Thanks in advance.

To run from bzr you need to run
Code:
python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py develop |

Sure, I'll be happy to add instructions for arch linux. Can you open a ticket and I'll do it when I get some time. Note that a source tarball of the current stable version is always at https://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/downloads/
