Re: Help opening ebook files (epub, mobi, PDF, etc.)
2. mac and iPhone
3. no
4. Using the iBooks on mac, books on iPhone, as well as nook app on iPhone
5. When I open the book on any of these applications, the book is not complete and only includes the chapter titles
6. “This page contains the following errors:
error on line 8 at column 466: Entity 'nbsp' not defined
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.” - this appears on almost every page
7. tried the nook app, attempting to download the calibre but its not loading currently

What can I do about this?
Also, I was supposed to get the book for free, then why is it listed $10.99 on Amazon?

2. iPad
3. I have not opened a file in this format on this device before
4. I downloaded the nook app and downloaded the book, but I don’t know how to associate the file type with the app, or move the file into the books folder.
Thank you,

Can I get a pdf copy of the book to review instead?

Once chosen, the format can't be changed. You can try to convert it yourself via the free Calibre App.blumauve_ms wrote: ↑12 Oct 2020, 09:50 1. epub

You can try to convert it to pdf or Mobi via the free Calibre App. If you don't succeed, you will need to quit the book.

You need to convert the file to MOBI to read it on your kindle. If just the cover shows, you need to report it via the Updat tab.Josh Alice wrote: ↑16 Oct 2020, 13:54 1. PDF
