@Umfriend,
I know! 🙂
Thanks to you!
Doh! ROFL. That’s even better than how it was. Many thanks again.
@Umfriend,
That’s the new “New book” blue button on main screen. Try it!
Thanks.
Z30, running 10.3.1.1581, PlayEpub 3.0.0.5.
When I open PlayEpub and then the menu (those three bars on the bottom left, not the three dots bottom right) I get “Books” and “Libraries” as options. I am pretty sure it used to also have “File Browser” or somesuch through which you could browse through folders, sort of like File Manager? It’s been a few months since I used the app, maybe my memory playing tricks on where it is but it did used to be there, no?
Thanks and kind rgds,
Umf
Hi There,
I just upgraded to the newest version, as always I love your app. However, I can not find a way to search through folders anymore. This is a nuisance for me becuase of how my books are organised (category -> subcategory -> author -> (series ->) title. Has this feature been depracted? If so, could you consider reinstating it?
Many thanks,
Umf
@Umfriend,
COuld you please be more specific? I can’t understand your issue. Which “search” are you talking about?
Which version are you running?
Ah okay. Thanks anyway; I appreciate the help!
You were right! I thought I was using a copy of the ebook that already had the DRM removed, but I was wrong. I used the proper copy and it loaded right up! Another question, is there any way to make the words a bit bigger? I have it at the highest setting, but the words are still terribly small. Thanks again!

@K. Tompkins,
No man, there are no more options.
That book must be overwriting any styling option forcing it to a very small one.
I just downloaded your app, but I can’t get my epub file to fully extract. It always gets hung up towards the end and doesn’t go any further. Is there anything else I can try to get the file to fully extract? Thanks in advance!

@K. Tompkins,
That book is drm-protected. You have to remove DRM before being able to read it on Playepub.
It is not working any more, what can i do. Mayby a update?
@Natascha Den Boer, why do you say it’s not working anymore? What happens when you open the app? Has your BB10 operating system been upgraded recently?
Thank you, your support is much appreciated. Hopefully, this small issue will be resolved in an upcoming version, as most of my French books have accented characters.
@Richard Dawnay,
It’s not so easy 🙂
Mobipocket format is used in different ways, Kindle is one of them.
Besides that, the book can be DRM protected.
And finally, there might be some issue on Playepub.
Please, attach one of your books and let me test.
I am not sure if Mobipocket are DRM books. This said Mobipocket created the .mobi format, so I rather assumed that as they were the only ones creating books in this format your reader would be able to read them. Am I wrong?
@PA,
It seems to be a problem related to the file name. If you remove the two “é” it works fine.
I’ll take a deeper look into this issue to try to find why.

I downloaded 2 Epub from the free Epub books library and they opened correctly. The problem seems to be related to DRM protection-removed Epubs.
@PA,
Please, send me one of those files and let me test.
I just installed 10.3.1.2072 on my Passport and a new version 3.0.0.5 of PlayEpub. Since, I got java Script errors on every book I try to open. These books were perfectly handled by PlayEpub version 2, as well as the version installed on my Playbook. So the books are not the cause here. Any idea of cause and solution?
Dear Sirs,
I downloaded your app based on the claim it read Mobi files. I have several books on the Mobipocket platform. The Reader does not seem to be bale to read them. Any advice?
My device is a Blackberry Classic.
Yours faithfully
@Richard Dawnay,
What happens when you open one of those files?
Are them DRM-free books?
Just bought your reader a few minutes ago. So far, so good. It is doing everything I wanted it to do and doing it very nicely. Been using the Kobo reader for the last year or two but just bought two books from them and found out they are not compatible for my Playbook. Now I just have to squirrel them out of their protected status.
@warren, there are many sites explaining hoe to remove drm, just search on Google a little.
Hi, after some months I’m using Playepub I would like to post some suggestions to improve the almost complete product:
– Word search
Currently Playepub only has Google as a search engine. I would like to have some more like wiktionary.com, Dictionary.com, etc. Better it would be to be able to customize the engine I want to use.
– Open Last reading Book
I would like to have a setting option to be able to decide, when I start the app, if I want the last book I was readinh or the books list
Thanks,
Michele
@Michelle,
Thanks fot your feedback!
I’ll have it into account for future releases.
I have bought the app for Playbook, and when i load a PDF book it does not open, any book y try to open is the same.
I want my money back.
Thanks
@Martin,
PDF support has some limitations, you can read about them:
http://playepub.com/quick-help/pdf-file-format/
Be patiente when opening, it’s slow.
For a refund, contact App World support.
Switched to passport. So far all is good. But maximum font size is much smaller than on my previous z10. Not a big issue but making letters large is one of the reasons people with eye problems prefer reading on screens over paper. Anyway great app.
@sasol,
When your passport gets 10.3.1 OS update you will also update to a new relase of Playepub with font size fixed!
Love your app. I am using new bb10 Classic. Attached you will see screen shot. It does not allow me to clear this. I can’t get back to settings ? Am I doing something wrong ? Thanks.

@mfreedman, close the combos then tap outside the menu. A swipe down gesture should close it too I think. Try it!!
Hi Jesus,
Is there an easier way to create collections of books? Instead of doing it on the Playbook or Z10 screen, can it collections be created on the PC when it is connected to the PC? If not, is there another, more efficient way to do so?
Please let me know.
Thank you,
Fred
@Fred,
No sorry, there isn’t, that’s the only possible way 🙁
Hi I have just purchase playepub and it loaded version 1.0. I tried to load some of my epubs and it shuts down after about 100 books. I have uninstalled playepub and reinstalled it with the same issue. Does this have a max number(size) books that it will take? Also as soon as I purchased this I am now told there is an upgrade available 1.9.20 that I have to pay for. Should I not have gotten the most current version when I purchased it the first time.
@Cindy,
The limit comes from device memory, it’s not recommended to open more than 75 books.
Regarding update, it’s free. Try on App World, My world, refresh both installed and available apps. Then try to update again.
Hello,
My wife and I both have this app. Since the big re-write we have both noticed that when you minimize the app and then go back into it. Sometimes it is no longer on the correct page. If you close it then re-open it at that point, it will be at the right page again.
One other bug we both:
It will be working fine then at when you touch to turn the page it looks like it is frozen. They pages don’t turn but it is still counting. If f I tap on the right side of the screen 5 times after they pages stop turning then close and open it. It will be 5 pages ahead.
I use a PassportSQW100-1/10.3.1.1151
My wife is using the same os version but with a BlackBerry Z30
Great app. I have used it since you first released it.
Thanks
@Jonathon,
Thanks for your feedback!
I’ll take a look at those issues ASAP.
@Jonathon,
I think I’ve found the issue. I’ll try to update tomorrow.
I have epub downloaded on my playbook, I am trying to get ebooks from frostwire to my playbook but there is no link on frostwire to transfer them . What am I doing wrong. I right click and there is nothing there to say send to playbook.
@Fred nurse,
You have to copy the files to your Playbook.

@Editor,
suppose you know better ))). but is not it worth making as in other applications ?
@Anton,
No, it’s not. The main difference is that probably that mobi book has only one chapter, so the global counter is the same as the chapter one. If any book, no matter the format, has more than one chapter, counter only counts pages on current chapter.
@Editor, chapter and the page is displayed normally on to mobi files. 100 %.
I can not check , because they do not open more mobi files . it was made after the patch((
why I wrote this
@Anton,
Regarding your last report.
Playepub works different to FBreader.
Playepub does only display current chapter pages, not full book. When you change chapter, it displays the new chapter pages.
There is also non marks for all chapters on bottom bar, only for current one.
So it’s not a bug, it’s how it works.
@Editor, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8psJz0E2_04U0xZUnNPZWVBU1E/view?usp=sharing
thanks))
@Anton,
But what you mean with “does not display correctly”?
Which are the problems you see?
@Editor, page does not display correctly only in fb2 and EPUB
sorry for my bad English=(
not always. on mobi files showing ok . the link to the review of playepub reader does not show too
@Anton,
Sorry but I have not undestood your last message, could you please give me more details?
page counts only one chapter
@Anton,
I can not repeat this bug, all my books displays page fine when changing chaptes. Is that happening always to you?
here everything is fine with formatting in width
http://blackberries.ru/2014/11/18/chitaem-knigi-na-blackberry-10-nativnoe-prilozhenie-playepub-book-reader/
maybe it’s because I z10 ?
@Anton,
The issue with formating you have reported is not an issue, that book styles is defined to show “justified” text, to that’s what is being done, justifing text. As next word does not fit on the previos line, this is filled with blank spaces.
and still shows no page number
@Jochen, I have downloaded , thank you. this new bugs )
@Editor, Good day, a new batch of bugs ) )
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8psJz0E2_04b25kbTV6Ym92Tjg/view?usp=sharing
@Anton,
Thanks! I’ll take a look.
Try the update you will get today, should fix your previous issues!
Hello, when is the Passport version available. I tried to download it but I only see the version 2.x.x in BlackBerry World but I got the update for my Z30.
@Jochen,
New release is only available for OS 10.3.1. Is your Passport running that?
Hello,
I tried to download it on my Passport but it is not there. I got the latest update 3.0.2 on a Z30 but I saw in BlackBerry World only the Version 2.x.x. Why? How I can get the update for a Passport?
Thank you for your promptness. But as with all my books. Therefore, in the archive only one book.
Sorry for my English =)
@Editor, Here’s an archive of data and books

@Anton,
Incredible bug report! Thanks!
New release uploaded for approval fixing your issues.
1) Fixed issue loading epub container. This was only happening on your book so far but could exist on others.
2) Fixed issue loading books file with russian names. This happened with your FB2 book.
3) Workaround for loading FB2 files not XML valid. This was in your FB2 book, despite fixing previous bug, there was an error in your book but I tried to fix it anyway.
I’m still looking at bad encoding on Mobi file.
I can not open a book. fb2 not open. epub an error javascript. I have a z10 100-1, 10.3.1.938
@Anton, please, send me those books and let me test. I’m not having any issue and have tried dozens of books.
Playepub for BB 10.3.1 already available for downloading!
Try it and let me know any bug or improvement! Hope you like it, it’s been a really hard work!
I cannot open epub files using the Reader. The books are listed, but when I select them I get an error. I ran one of the programs you recommended to remove the DMR protection, but they still do not work. I have included one of the book files.

@Leo,
That book is malformed, something must have gone wrong during the drm-removal process.
I will try to do it again.
Loveyour reader but doesn’t work on z30 with10.3.x os. Update available?
@Mfreedman, it’s pending approval, hope it will be ready this week.
Will you be fixing Playepub for the Playbook? It currently does not work.
@Leo, what issue are you having? Nobody else has reported anything.
Will your new release work for the Playbook?
@Leo, no, this is only for BB 10.3 and more
when I try to install on the Passport, it tells me “unavailable for this device” and won’t install.
@Jeff,
That’s because you are probably running OS 10.3.1.
Playepub will be available for 10.3.1 probably next week.
Sorry for the inconveniences, but it’s not my fault, it’s just Blackberry decision.
