@wildstars Thanks for doing the comparison. As for what you said about deflate vs. store (no compression):

We don't compress images in our EPUBs now because it provides a performance improvement when loading the EPUB in e-readers. JPEG is already optimally compressed, and adding deflate compression on top of it serves no good purpose. If you store an image without compressing it, the e-reader has to spend less work and memory loading the resource.

Regarding the EPUB spec, first of all, the EPUBs you download are 100% compliant with EPUBCheck, the EPUB compliance checker, which I have double-checked for Mapping V3. You are correct that if a resource in an EPUB is encrypted, you need to specify whether or not it was compressed in a metadata file in the EPUB, but our EPUBs are DRM-free, and as such the compression flag is natively available in the ZIP format for any e-reader. If you check section 4.2 of the EPUB3 container format spec you'll see OCF ZIP Containers MUST include only stored (uncompressed) and Deflate-compressed ZIP entries within the ZIP archive.. Therefore, storing without compression is perfectly valid, and I am inclined to say the ball is in FBReader's court, assuming there is nothing else wrong with the EPUB.

@strangeattractor so far there's only been one set of announcements, for 3 LNs and 1 manga: https://yenpress.com/2022/11/yen-press-and-j-novel-club-announce-print-publishing-partnership/

Yen Press' website is (supposedly) getting updated soon, so hopefully their website will be more clear. For now at least, JNC does have their own tag as well: https://j-novel.club/series?search=tag:"print by yen press"

@JRPG-Nation I think the authors are writing more in depth stories. most LNs have a self contained arc in each volumeand they may have had to split the arcs into parts to keep it running proper

@Lakisha-Trusty-7kx2srr Someone just had this issue a short while back, just email support@j-novel.club and let them know your zip code and that it doesn't exist on their end and someone will get it added for you.

Are you referring to https://j-novel.club/calendar ? It's possible that it considers the 4/1 entry to actually be 3/31 depending on your time zone, so it doesn't display it as April.

For me, it shows 4/1 data, but months that don't have entries for the first (like https://j-novel.club/calendar?year=2023&month=1 ) start on the first day with things being released. Yesterday, before today's entry was posted, the April calendar started on 4/3, Monday.

@Zehd said in Unable to open Arifureta vol 13 epub in eReader Prestigo:

I ended up converting the epubs to mobi and back again just so that it would convert the images to smaller versions

Calibre can convert directly epub to epub, provided you choose the right output profile for the desired image sizes if you want them resized.

@piisfun

Thanks!

@Elijah203223

The middle of you comment made the comment itself politically charged. Rather then edit the end out I deleted the comment.

You are free to post the again, without the middle bit.

@exedore Thanks!

@Baka_Neko From what I can tell, they need to have a mechanism available to remove a person's personal information, but since it can require the user to make the request in writing or verbally, an email request would seem to be fine?

The thing there is that JNC doesn't actually store any personal information in their system (unless you used your real name for your account username) except your email address. Your credit information is stored with their credit processor (which you can also email them to have removed) and since everything about their sales is digital you don't store any address information with them for any shipping related function.

It's great to see that the community is helping out with this kind of thing. I'm glad to hear that you got a response and that your replacement copy will be shipped soon.

@jpwong Thanks for the advice. I may do that.

@PuckGoodfellow00-0 I just fixed the part for the app. However, please be aware that if you run into this issue with other parts in the future, you can switch to vertical reading for that part to fix it. We want to fix this in a future app update, but the issue is complex and will require significant time to untangle.

Thanks for the heads up, this has been fixed!

@_peteyg we replied to your support email, as the issue has been resolved. Please see the details there.

For everyone else, this was mainly due to a US ZIP code missing in our system, which is rare but does happen sometimes. If you have this issue, let us know and we'll get the ZIP code added!

For the credit card not being deleted, it was actually because @_peteyg was actually repeatedly adding copies of that payment method to the account when getting the ZIP code error, which is an edge case not really shown in our UI since our system is designed for a single default payment method, which is the latest one added. When the payment method was repeatedly being deleted, those copies were getting removed, there were about 3 left by the time I checked

@Edda_ayuste

Hello,

We see your email, as said above we are a US based team. Your email response to our last email came in overnight and during the weekend. That is why no immediate response was given.

When US business hours begin we will start addressing support emails in the order they were received.

Your patience until your email is addressed is appreciated.

Thank you

@cine Sorry about that. The book has been reuploaded - please open a ticket with Kobo in 48 hours to allow time for processing on their end.

@redmasq That's good to know. I don't have Telegram and don't particularly want to sign up just for this thing, but it doesn't look like there's any other way to report an issue to the dev(s). I was able to get into the 4.x beta program and found that the 4.x beta versions have the same problem as the 3.x versions. =/

@tim_pkmn89 This is a license rescue where we published many volumes direct to epub without streaming, then went back and added the parts before the rental system was being developed, so it's a weird exception. I'll start fixing these, thanks for the heads up!

EDIT: It should be fixed now!
