Call for feedbacks: Enterprise Pharo ePub version

Hi,

I created an ePub version of the book Enterprise Pharo for electronic readers.

It would be great if you could test it and give me feedbacks on everything that shocks you.

You can downlod the file here.

Thanks,
Thibault

Works very nicely on my iPhone. It would be great to have all the books in this format.

Re: Call for feedbacks: Enterprise Pharo ePub version

Thanks for thinking of the e-reader users!

I have a Nook Color HD, and, unfortunately, when I tried to open the eBook, it would crash on any attempt to read past the second page (which is the ToC). So clickong on a ToC link, or attempting to turn to page 3 causes the reader to simply abort. If I can think of any other diagnostic tests to try, I shall do that.

Great idea! And, I have just done it :-)

Re: Call for feedbacks: Enterprise Pharo ePub version

Hi Thibault,

Thanks for working on this. I sent the epub to my Kindle (converted to
mobi by Calibre).

The content is well formatted and everything looks fine, even code
snippets (although the font is too large, larger than the paragraph
character).

The only thing that is wrong is the table of contents, with over 200
pages (and > 4000 "positions") the TOC seems to be missing most of the
sections of the whole book. And without a proper TOC using a book like
this on an e-ink reader like Kindle it is very difficult to "jump"
between sections.

Regards!

I think you should, try with the Calibre eBook manager/reader, or the
Kindle app in your phone/tablet.

It is not the first problem feedback I heard on ToC menu, maybe the generation of ToC is corrupt.
I will have a look at this one.

Thanks for your help

Calibre all the way :-)

Can even decrypt Kindle books with the right plugin (especially useful when I bought them through my wife's account by mistake).

It is not a valid epub file epubcheck finds many errors
<https://github.com/idpf/epubcheck>

The first ome which will stop some readers loading at all is

Mimetype file entry is missing or is not the first file in the archive.

we should try Calibre to validate your output.

I do not know if it works on linux.

I just found a validator on web browser which works well, so now I use it.
I will still have a look to Calibre, maybe it is better

Re: Call for feedbacks: Enterprise Pharo ePub version

In reply to this post by Thibault ARLOING

It would be OK to read with Calibre but it is designed as a reader so
will allow some errors through which would affect other readers. The
epubValidator is designed to find issues and so will show much more so
it would be better to add that to your working process.
