[Help] Marvin 3 can only read chapter cover, not other pages

stebrick · 07-13-2021, 07:41 AM

I'm trying to read epub with Marvin 3 on iPad. I have several books written in Chinese but they cant be read properly with Marvin 3. Put it simply, when I slide the pages, the app just skips to next chapter. It doesn't recognize the existance of all other pages except those chapter cover. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the vertical alignment, which is typical format for Chinese books.

I attach herewith the problematic epub file for further troubleshooting / analysis. I must emphasis that the Apple's own iBook can read it without any problem. I think it's Marvin 3 causing the issue? I tried running a book check in Calibre. There were a few errors but I dont understand what they are, hence seeking help here hoping someone could help

I think by vertical alignment you actually mean vertical layout or EPUB vertical writing mode. Marvin 3 was not designed to support EPUB vertical writing mode. Go get something else for this kind of books.
