For some reason, those two URLs freeze my reader after turning them into EPUB files, although they open fin in Windows using SumatraPDF : https://www.vox.com/22346085/covid-19-vietnam-response-travel-restrictions https://www.vox.com/22380161/south-korea-covid-19-coronavirus-pandemic-contact-tracing-testing I haven't experienced that with other files, be they EPUB or PDF. Any idea what I could try in the meantime ? Thank you. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Maybe the reader doesn't like some EPUB3 feature that's triggered by these websites?

There's something in those HTML pages: I haven't had the problem after converting other web pages into EPUB with Pandoc, and reading them on my reader.

The problem sounds like the ePub reader is embedded in the reader firmware, and leaves something to be desired in the case of standards compliance. If that's the case, this is not a problem that can be solved on Pandoc's side. The reader itself needs an update. Can you provide a pointer to where you got it? One option, if the reader has the option to side load external software is to loas a different view that will override the default. ______ Dennis ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
