Do you have any issue?
Would you like a new feature?
Leave as comment, please.
If you have problems with any epub file, please, try to attatch it.
You can also contact with me on Twitter.
Please, checkout our FAQ before posting your issue, your solucion might be there.
oops – you need square brackets around the word subpage. here is a shortened link http://bit.ly/OkeJfy
Here is an example. This is a direct link to a page for an epub file I uploaded (Pride and Prejudice) http://ffaat.pointclark.net/blog/index.php?serendipity%5Bsubpage%5D=downloads&thiscat=11&file=31
If you click the download icon (the globe with the email) within the browser, it saves the file pg1342.epub but if you click the link in the external library browser it doesn’t do anything.
@Rob A,
That’s exactly the way it works.
Maybe I can do something.
Could you please telleme the website you are trying in order to do some tests?
Hi – quick question – I added a network library (url) finr but it won’t let me download epub files that don;t have an “.epub” extension in the link. The link looks like “http:\\site\catalog\file\12345” and if I click the link in a browser I get the file “real_good_book.epub” served to me by some php code. Does playepub just look at the link URL to see if it is a epub, pdf or zip? This is a bit of a limitation where content is served by scripts. Also tweeted the question… Lovin playepub btw!
@Shane,
Thanks for your feedback and your suggestions!
I’ll study everything related to links, maybe I can do something.
Scroll is not an option on Playepub, it’s not posible with the technical architecture of the app, it can not be done 🙁
@Greg,
Same procedure as to add a bookmark, instead of adding you will be deleting.
just wanted to first say thanks to the developer to all the hard work on this app! its really appreciated because we need these apps for the playbook!.. I just have a few suggestions. First is that I use epubs a lot for studying. Other apps show links in a different colour and also questions show up in green(as an example). Also could you make the links in the epubs something like a double tap to get to them? the long hold and then the popup to click on the link I find takes too long. Last I have used another app that lets you continually scroll vertically through whatever section or chapter of the epub you are in. Its very nice feeling and you are not constantly tapping to get to the next page. This in my opinion is a great feature and I would love to see this if it was even possible. Thanks again though!
How do you delete a bookmark?
@Markus,
Let’s go on by email 🙂
Thanks for your fast reply. I have an “email” account, too. I changed my password to the same as my email but without “@” and “.”, so just small letters.
@Markus,
Mine works fine, I have just tested.
Do you have an old “username” account or a new one with “email”? Mine is with email.
Maybe, if you don’t have any private document in your account, you could send me your credentials (please, with a new testing password). It’s the only way could debug it.
Great app! However I have a question regarding Instapaper sync. Pressing “Test login” button always leads to “Username or password incorrect” after a few seconds. I tried about 10 times and double checked username and password. It works with other Instapaper apps. Perhaps you can have a look at it. Maybe they changed something with the API.
@Betty,
It’s very strange.
Yes please, try deleting an reinstalling app, should solve issue. When first launch app, grant permission.
Hi again. I went to your faq Site, checked my security and I had granted permission but it still says I haven the grants permission. Do you think if I delete and reinstall that might fix problem?
Tks
When I open playepub it tells me I haven’t tried given permission to access my files. But I have!!! Help please
Thanks for your help in this.
I noticed that the DRM remover didn’t create the complete book. So i also don’t have the complete book in Playepub. But this is related to the DRM removal software.
Thanks again.
@Marc,
I finally have both scenarios into account, test one filename and if it does not exist check the escaped one. It should solve any issue like this.
I’ll be publishing an update in some days fixing this and some more issues.
@Marc,
I’ve made some tests and I’ve found the issue.
I have to review the epub format standard, I’m not sure if it’s a file issue or just an app issue :P, file names with spaces are been escaped in descriptors but I don’t “unescape” them. The fix could be easy but if I unscape and it’s not supossed to be done, other books might fail.
Try this one meanwhile, it should work:
[file]http://playepub.com/files/2012/07/BlueCuracao_new.epub[/file]
oops uploaded the wrong files, my apologies. This file should be DRM Free. It still has the 96% failure.
[file]http://playepub.com/files/2012/07/Blue_Curacao___druk_1-1.epub[/file]
@Marc,
This file is drm-protected, you won’t be able to open on Playbook.
Try removing DRM first:

[file]http://playepub.com/files/2012/07/Blue_Curacao___druk_1.epub[/file]
here’s the file
@Marc,
Send me the file and let’s test 🙂
I assume you have enough memory…
Hi,
i’m very happy with you Playepub software. However i recently have an issue when opening a ebook. It starts loading and gets stuck at 96%. Any idea how this can happen and how this can be solved?
Thanks,
Marc
@Walter,
Supongo que tu problema es el mismo que hemos comentado ya por mail ¿no?
No puedo descargar libros de dominio publico, favor indiquemos los pase a seguir
@Robby,
Thanks for your feedback!
Send me your file too, that’s a recurring issue I thought it was fixed. Please, tellme one page to test it too.
Anyway, when selecting, try to move the start/end marks to the position you want instead of let app put them. This usually happens with chapters that start or finish in a different page, so try to select just the text you want and move the marks by yourself eventhough you think they are fine.
@chrisk,
Please, send me that file.
I’m trying to fix that kind of issues with some books, not sure what the problem is.
When highlighting book, it always seem to highlight the whole chapter. Then I have to go and delete all the individual highlights. If I leave the app and come back to it, the highlights return. Please help. I use this app to do alot of studying and i use highlighter alot.
i purchased PLayepub and downloaded an EPUB file.
i opened the book and it sits on my library shelf.
i tap on the book front and it says “loading book” goes to 100%
then sits with a loading circle in the middle of the screen and doesn’t load the book, what am i doing wrong
Overall, a pretty nice reader. I bought it especially because of the built-in dictionary and, unfortunately, that’s the weak part. Very limited vocabulary, slow and cumbersome to use. Would be nice to incorporate – or, better, link to – an already established , extensive dictionary but there are even none of those available!! (The old Palm system with mobipocket was ideal). Would be willing to pay a fair price for this feature, but keep up the good work!!
@Howard Clayton,
I’ve tested and that’s right. There is some kind of issue uncompressing it.
I’m just finishing the fix!
I’ll try to solve it asap!
@Anita,
It’s very strange.
Does this happen with any book?
If you open a new book (not opened before) happens the same?
My book reader worked fine u til yesterday. Now when I open a book – any book – I can only see two pages of nonsense. Any suggestions?
@Howard Clayton,
Please, let me do some tests. I’ll tell you something asap.
My new playepub reader will not open the file attached, but it is not protected by drm and it opens fine in other reader applications.

@Christine,
Please, send it to me too.
Not sure if it helps, but the problem I have with the book file I sent you is also happening with a different book…
@Rob,
Please, send me that file and let me do some tests.
I have an epub that uses different font colors. Playepub initially renders the Page correctly however then quickly changes font colors back to plain black. Is there an easy fix for this?
@Leo Aiello,
I’m not really sure, but you can try this article:

Please, keep in mind that DRM protected files are not supported within Playbook and most paid content on Amazon is protected. Try removing protection.
I have a bunch of Kindle ebooks bought in Amazon. I read them in my desktop computer using their kindle software and also read them in my iPhone which also has a Kindle App for this purpose. I would like to read the Amazon books in my Playbook BB tablet and have no idea how to do this. Can I do it with your PlayEpub? Is there a Kindle App for the Playbook?
How do I get to see or download my Kindle books into my Playbook?
I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me.

@Mark,
Does this happen with any book?
Could you please send me this one?
Does not work properly after latest update. Page turning and book loading extremely slow. Sometimes freezes between pages did not have this problem before.
Here it is…

@Christine,
My lastest tests wew loading one book with 1600 pages in just one chapter. It took about 6 seconds to load.
It’s very strange.
Please, send me the file.
This never happened with the old version though…
I’m not sure on the number of pages (I just went to check and the green “waiting” circle is going lol) often just reading the book this happens also. I don’t have the file on this computer, but I will upload it from my playbook once the circle is gone 🙂
@Christine,
This kind of issues should be solved with last update.
How many pages does it have?
Could please send it to me to make some tests?
I have been using playepub for quite some time with no issues, until this update. I love the app, but my biggest problem is the time it takes to load a book. And the time it takes to “wake up” the book when I have put my playbook on standby, or switch from landscape to portrait mode (sometimes almost 5 minutes). More times than not it opens up at a much earlier points in the book. Do I need to delete the book and re-install it? I can never put the book down without it taking 5 minutes to start reading again 🙁
@Jim,
I’ll look at it.
It was supposed to be solved in last release.
