Last page of converted epub's doesn't save on kobo sync. #3124
Comments
Do you use epubs or kepubs? Because saving the exact position on the reader only works for kepubs. It‘s a limitation on the kobo side, so nothing (beside converting epubs to kepubs via kepubify) can be done in calibre-web |
It gets converted to EPUB, and on my eReader, it shows as "Kobo EPUB." Again, normal EPUBs work just fine; it's just the converted ones that have this issue. |
Only kepubs, or what it shows as "kobo EPUB" would keep your reading position. There's calibre plugins that would convert to kepub automatically, and calibre web would send that one over epub or PDF. In fact I see you are using the linuxserver container of calibre web, it comes with kepubify integrated, so it automatically converts to kepub your library
Somewhere in between seems like the already epubs get converted to kepub, but the ones you convert from PDF to epub are not. Just giving you a hint as to where to start troubleshooting |
Describe the bug/problem
I just set up Kobo Sync on my Kobo eReader, and I really like it. I have it configured on a bookshelf in my Calibre Web installation. When I tried it out last night, I was really happy with how it worked. However today, when I wanted to continue reading, I tapped on the book, but it took me back to the first page (the title page, page 3).
I tested this with a few other books and found that only ebooks converted from PDF to EPUB (using the Calibre app on my local machine, connected to the database over a Samba share) do not save their last page data. Regular EPUB files, however, do save correctly.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Logfile
Couldn't find anything relevant. But included it just in case.
Calibre-Web-debug-pack.zip
Expected behavior
Save my last page so I can continue where I left off if I closed the book.
Environment (please complete the following information):
I setup the api-endpoint with a duckdns-link and port forwarding (yes, i know about the security risks)
