It seems I still have some problems. I am trying to export some books to my 'old faithful' Kobo Glo HD. Strangely, some books did not seems to have any problems, but a few are just impossible to export.

Since updating to 3.6.9 (previously was using 3.6.7) I've been unable to transfer .cbr and .cbz files to my Kobo Libra Color. I even tested files that were previously on my libra colour by removing them from the device and trying to re-transfer them back onto the device. I always get the following error:
Code:

Load the eBooks that are failing into the editor and use the editor error checker and eoubcheck (editor plugin) to check for errors and then once any errors are corrected and both error checks say there are no errors, try to send those eBook to your Kobo and see what happens.

I don't believe so. I can open them directly inside Calibre without any issues.
I can also take a copy of the cbr/z files, manually change the extension to rar/zip, and then open/extract/edit them that way, all without any problems. I 100% know that the cbr/cbz files that I'd previously transferred to my libra colour weren't corrupt. But if I remove any of them from my libra colour then try to re-transfer them via calibre, I run into the same error I pasted in my initial reply to this thread. I transferred some of those files over yesterday, prior to updating the extension to 3.6.9 and they transferred without an issue. Some additional things I've tried that also haven't worked: - Ensured my libra colour software is up to date. - Restarting the calibre app. - Restarting my PC - Restarting my kobo - Uninstalling and reinstalling kobo-touch-extended |

I've been doing further testing my files. I used the test feature in winRAR to test if the files were corrupted. All files came back fine. All files are openable directly in calibre to read, I can also interact with all of the files in windows explorer (unzip, edits, etc.).
Out of curiosity, I unzipped one of the .rar files and rezipped it as a .zip file (and renamed to .cbr and .cbz). I wanted to test if I had a .cbr and .cbz of the same ebook, would I receive different errors when trying to import it to kobo. Turns out I do. I can still open both the .cbr and .cbz in calibre, but when I import, the .cbr gives me the "not a zip file" error I posted previously. But the .cbz file now gives the following error: Code:
calibre, version 7.16.0 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device No META-INF/container.xml in epub Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 112, in run File "calibre\gui2\device.py", line 646, in _upload_books File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver", line 342, in upload_books File "calibre\devices\kobo\driver.py", line 2270, in upload_books File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver", line 152, in _modify_epub File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.container", line 117, in __init__ File "calibre\ebooks\oeb\polish\container.py", line 1205, in __init__ calibre.ebooks.oeb.polish.container.InvalidEpub: No META-INF/container.xml in epub |

The top line says it is not a proper EPUB
I wonder if someone tried just changing the extension? (and mucked up the works) |

Not sure if @theducks reply was in response to me or @greyhunter. If it was me, I'm not sure why my second error even mentions epub at all as the error occurs when trying to import a .cbz file. The .cbz file in question is a comic and the underlying zip file only contains 23 jpg files and nothing else.
As for my general issue of not being able to import .cbr/.cbz files, I'm fairly confident it has something to do with my recently updating kobo-touch-extended from 3.6.7 to 3.6.9. Up until yesterday, I was still using 3.6.7 and had no issues transferring .cbr/.cbz files. Since updating to 3.6.9 this morning I'm unable to transfer any .cbr/.cbz files - even files that had previously been put on my kobo successfully. As a last-ditch attempt to confirm the problem isn't with my files; I manually added the .cbr/.cbz files to my kobo via windows explorer instead of through calibre. All of them transferred fine and functioned correctly on my kobo. So the issue seems to have something to do with calibre and its plugins. As I seem to be the only one commenting in this thread about issues transferring .cbr/.cbz files, I don't want to say that the issue lies solely with kobo-touch-extended. It may be something went wrong in calibre when I performed the update to it. I'm not entirely sure. Tomorrow I might try uninstalling calibre completely and doing a fresh install to see if the problem persists, but I'm hoping there'll be a solution that can help me avoid having to do that ![]() |

hi!
I get the same error as Greyhunter since today (calibre is 7.16 and KTE is 3.6.9) If I understood JSWolf right, you meant use Calibre's edit book feature and hit the check book button, right? I tried that, but it came out clear and transferring epubs to my Kobo (Libra2) still failed. Any idea please? (reverted to 3.6.7 in the mean time, and sending to Kobo worked perfectly) Quote:

That appears to be a Plugin error. No need to reinstall Calibre. Just wait for a new PI to be released

Do you have access to a Windows system? If so, can you install calibre and the extended driver and try this eBook? It could be because of some sort of error that the plugin is failing to convert to KePub or something to do with your Linux setup or the driver is borked since 3.6.7.
