. A good thing: officially standardized by the W3C github.com/w3c/epubcheck . However, some auto-generated epub seems to be rubbish; 3 out of 4 of my epub readers failed to parse the epub, even after editing missing fields per edrlab.org/open-standards/anat . I'm not sure how the 4th one managed it, but it's pretty ugly. Guess I'm sticking with on this one.

Check out [Calibre](calibre-ebook.com/). It will rectify any issues in an ebook to be perfectly compatible with your reader. I use it for a bunch of auto generated books from online.

@souldessin I am a fan of Calibre, and have been using it for longer than I've been using Linux! But how do I get it to clean things up?

@worldsendless
I just set my reader model in the setup and imported any epub. Then I told it to convert and upload.

DEN WE WUSS LIVIN THERE N SHEEIT AND LEMME TELL YAW DAT SHEEIT WAS STRAIGHT BUSSIN NIGGIES I AIN'T EVEN CAPPIN DAWG :clussy2:

@worldsendless what are you doing with epubs? I use them for reading novels, but that’s about it.

@writh yeah, an old book from archive.org. Done right, epubs have certain advantages over pdfs. But apparently they can be done very wrong...
