Kobo Glo - ver.2.4.0
Calibre - ver.0.9.23
KoboTouchExtended - ver.2.0.7

I had disable all the device interface plugins and only KoboTouchExtended is enable. Then I had selected send book to device main memory. The book is renamed with the extension .kepub.epub.

The book cover do not appear at first, but after I had transferred another book to device, it show out. But the latest book do not has the cover.

For the annotation - Try highlight, add note or bookmark. Neither information is saved. The sentence/word not highlighted, the page is bookmarked, and the note is added. When relaunch the book, will proceed back to the first page of the latest chapter.

I had checked the html file, the id attribute kobo.X.1 is not in h1-6 and p tags.

I really annoyed with the rendering engine between epub and kepub.epub. Hopefully you able to resolve our problems and save our day.

Thanks alot!

Can you add a the smart punctuation to the extended menu?
I know it's a standard feature already implemented in Calibre but I don't like using the standard Conversion option as it does "Calibresizes" the output epub with lots of calibre tags that are in mho mostly unnecessary or at least unwanted by me.

To smarten the punctuation of an epub I currently use the "Modify epub" plugin that does this without converting the epub (like Calibre does). This plugin seems to use (call) the default Calibre smarten punctuation routines.

So if you can add the default smarten punctuation routine to your plugin in some future release the whole conversion to kepub can be done in one go.
But do focus first on more important features or bugs that need the fixed or improved first.

I get this error with most of my books:

Of course the byte value and position varies with files. Some of them are actually working fine.

Thanks Michael

Having problems in my comments being accepted so edit first mail
Hi
Seem to have problems in commenting tried 3 times.
Could not update via calibre and gained error message.
Followed your instructions and now have 2.0.5 installed.
Many thanks

Hey it's me again. I just wanted to restore my library on Kobo Glo after a factory reset. Now I am getting the error mentioned in title on a epub file that was definitly sent successfully to device with a previous version of the driver.

Here is the calibre debug log ... hope this helps. ;)

Best regards,

Calibre : 0.9.31
Plugin : Last version posted on GitHub (after correction bug #46)
Kobo Mini : 2.5.2

No more crash when sendig books since bug #46 has been corrected.
Continuing to send books 200 by 200.
After 2000 books sent, no more image cover appear on home page or library list.
Choosing other books to transfer does not solve this.

My books are in french. Hyphenation use the wrong dictionnary in every case. Even if i force with calibre (0.9.23) xml:lang="fr" :
html, body {
widows: 0;
orphans: 0;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
xml:lang="fr";
}
The convertion in kepub when open with sigil, make appear xml:lang="en" ; making probably use of the wrong hyphenation dictionary in the kobo.
If i edit with sigil the book with xml:lang="fr", i have a bug in the kobo with sometimes a corruption of the db, with a reinitialisation of the firmware mandatory. But even if i substitute the english dictionary with the french one in a KoboRoot.tgz : the wrong hyphenation appear...

Hello,
First of all, my thanks for this nice and very useful plugin.

I've posted this issue on Mobileread : http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210894, thinking that it is Calibre's issue.
I got this answer from davidfor : "That is an error in the extended Kobo driver while modifying the epub to be a kepub. The author usually asks for problems to be posted on https://github.com/jgoguen/calibre-kobo-driver. He'll probably need to see the file that is causing the problem".

I'm running on Windows 7 32b.
Here is my problem with Calibre : I'm unable to re-add 2 epubs to my Kobo Glo (which had once been added - before the installation of the plugin- then removed from Kobo)

calibre, version 0.9.27
ERREUR : Erreur: Erreur pendant la communication avec le lecteur électronique (= Error communicating with device)

Failed to parse: 'XXX' with error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'remove'

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.driver", line 260, in upload_books
ParseError: Failed to parse: 'XXX' with error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'remove'

I would like to attach the troublesome epub, but I do not know how to do it.
Thank you for your help.
Regards.

The first time the Kobo sees a new book, even with existing DB rows, it starts its usual processing and strips out series information and the image ID. If there's a way to stop the Kobo from processing new files, it needs to be implemented and tested to make sure it doesn't break anything.

This is not considered to be a major issue since plugging the device into calibre and allowing it to update the metadata will set the series data and image ID and the Kobo device won't remove it again.

I am about to make two changes to the KoboTouch driver that mean changes to the options. Both changes will rename and slightly repurpose two options. No extra options will be added. At the moment.

Because this driver has copied the EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE and EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_DEFAULT structures and extended them, the options will get out of sync. I suggest changing the code to copy the values at runt time.

The following seems to work:

    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_DEFAULT = KOBOTOUCH.EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_DEFAULT
    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE = KOBOTOUCH.EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE
    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE_SIZE = len(EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE)

    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE.append(_('Enable Extended Features') + \
            ':::' + _('Choose whether to enable extra customisations'))
    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_DEFAULT.append(True)
    OPT_EXTRA_FEATURES = EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE_SIZE

    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE.append(_('Delete Files not in Manifest') + \
            ':::' + _('Select this to silently delete files that are not in the manifest if they are encountered during processing. '
                'If this option is not selected, files not in the manifest will be silently added to the manifest and processed as if they always were in the manifest.'))
    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_DEFAULT.append(False)
    OPT_DELETE_UNMANIFESTED = EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE_SIZE + 1

    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE.append(_('Upload DRM-encumbered ePub files') + \
            ':::' + _('Select this to upload ePub files encumbered by DRM. If this is not selected, it is a fatal error to upload an encumbered file'))
    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_DEFAULT.append(False)
    OPT_UPLOAD_ENCUMBERED   = EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE_SIZE + 2

    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE.append(_('Silently Ignore Failed Conversions') + \
            ':::' + _('Select this to not upload any book that fails conversion to kepub. If this is not selected, the upload process '
                'will be stopped at the first book that fails. If this is selected, failed books will be silently removed from the upload queue.'))
    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_DEFAULT.append(False)
    OPT_SKIP_FAILED         = EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE_SIZE + 3

    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE.append(_('Hyphenate Files') + \
            ':::' + _('Select this to add soft hyphens to uploaded ePub files. The language used will be the language defined for the book in calibre. '
                ' It is necessary to have a LibreOffice/OpenOffice hyphenation dictionary in ' + os.path.join(config_dir, 'plugins', 'KoboTouchExtended') + \
                ' named like hyph_{language}.dic, where {language} is the ISO 639 3-letter language code. For example, \'eng\' but not \'en_CA\'. The default dictionary to use '
                ' if none is found may be named \'hyph.dic\' instead.'))
    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_DEFAULT.append(False)
    OPT_HYPHENATE           = EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE_SIZE + 3

    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE.append(_('Replace Content Language Code') + \
            ':::' + _('Select this to replace the defined language in each content file inside the ePub.'))
    EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_DEFAULT.append(False)
    OPT_REPLACE_LANG        = EXTRA_CUSTOMIZATION_MESSAGE_SIZE + 4

I haven't done a lot of testing. Just enough to prove it displays and changes the options correctly. Plus sent a couple of books with the "extended" option on and off.

I don't know if the above is the best way to do this. If there is a better way that needs a change in the KoboTouch driver, tell me and I'll look at it.

Since I updated from Calibre 0.9.22 to 0.9.25 my Kobo Glo is nt detected.

I just downloaded and updated the KoboTouchExtended.zip plugin.
I created the KoboTouchExtended folder and added the hyphenation dictionary.

I have sent successfully more than 2000 books to my Kobos with the previous version of the plugin.
Trying to send again these books with the 1.3.2 version, many of them crash.
For some (about 10%), an epub to epub conversion with calibre solve the problem.
But for the others there's a crash.

I'm French the book too. Hope my English is not too bad. If you need more informations, ask me.
Thanks for your good job.

Current hypenation-related code, newly added, is probably overkill. I think so since the reader's software already has support for hyphenation and internal dictionaries for (all? most? I don't know) languages that are supported for the user interface. Adding soft-hyphens complicates the interface and makes the epub file slightly heavier.
I suppose that the current approach would still be valid for unsupported languages, however, I think that if a dictionary for the language is available on the device, there should be a way for the reader to know what dictionary to use, like on original kepubs. I was planning to do some research on this topic sooner or later, but I wanted to know your opinion on the subject: maybe you (@jgoguen) already made extensive research on this and concluded that the current way is the only one, then close this as a wontfix, no problem with that.

From http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2482479&postcount=202

Sorry, I meant to say "further kobo id span tags (span id="kobo.1.1" and so on)." For instance, if a chapter is so long that it results in a certain screen page having no opening kobo span tag and you happen to close the book on this screen page, the book will not reopen at the correct screen page. As you might have noticed. in the preview kepubs from Kobo (and I therefore suppose also in the regular Kobo kepubs), they put a kobo span tag also in between sentences (with increasing second index number); in some books they additionally match each font attribute tag with a kobo span tag. Since the screen page breaks are depending on customizable values like font attributes, margins and so on, even those measures (namely, further kobo span tags) will not prevent kobo-span-tag-less screen pages in every possible case, or one will end finally putting kobo tags around each single letter.

The other problem I had was with ranges of text that were not at all covered by kobo span tags, as for instance tables and lists. This was of course my fault, since I did not think of those case at all to start with.

I do not know about your plug-in (and I do not know whether calibre changes tables and list to some other constructions), but judging from your description earlier in this thread your plug-in might be prone to these problems too.

Device: Kobo Aura HD (firmware 2.5.2)

Maybe this is related to issue #45: I found that some books were sent to Kobo without errors, but some text was silently removed.
I have stripped a couple of books of non relevant texts, you can find them here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wk6lzp4tr94py1y/TEST%201%20-%20The%20Author.epub
and

The driver always sets series information in the database even if the option to set series information is disabled.

Hi jgoguen
I don't know if it is possible or easy to do to ensure that the Chapter number as well a page is shown at foot of page?
eg One book shows "Chap V - PG. 35 OF 38" and another " PG. 15 OF 33".
First example "" class="calibre1">Chapter V ""
Second example ""class="calibre1">""
Could this be an enhancement?
Thanks Michael
Will not let me display line of html

Files detected during the Container initialization may not be in the OPF manifest, which means they won't have an associated MIME type. This causes the files to be returned as raw unicode objects, causing parsing failures.

Also posted this small but inconvenient bug on MobileRead (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2482711&postcount=203)
There you'll find the original epub and kobofied kepub.

Short description here:
After kobofying an epub there is a bug if the first HTML-tag/code within the span class="koboSpan" is preceded with a white space. After kobofication this preceding white space is removed. White spaces preceding all following HTML-codes within the "koboSpan" class are honored.

Original epub test (extract)
`

Moody’s plaatst vraagtekens bij waardering*DE

Het bod van*JAB waardeert DEMB in totaal op 7,5 miljard euro.`

the * marks a white space that precedes the and

html-codetags.
These marked white spaces disappeare in the kobofied kepub.

Kobofied kepub conversion (extract):
`

Moody’s plaatst vraagtekens bij waarderingDE

Het bod vanJAB waardeert DEMB in totaal op 7,5 miljard euro.`

As said before this only happens when a white space precedes the first html-code/tag within the "koboSpan" class. No other spaces or characters are removed.

I have a couple of books that, when transferred with the extended driver, can only show the cover; when you try to change page a popup comes up saying "This book can't be opened" (approximated translation). If I move the file out from the device and then manually in (so that the database is purged from references to it) they work without problems.
I am also having another issue with chapters that seem to open in random order if I let the driver to add references to them in the database, while they are read in order if no changes to the database are made.
Is there any reason to add rows to the database relating to sigle chapters? I just see problems coming from this right now, but maybe it enables some feature I'm not aware of.

Currently the driver fetches all database rows with a null ImageID. Only books that are actually in the current calibre library should be modified.

Citing from Project Gutenberg license, section 1.E:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

In every Kobo there's at least a kepub, called 6aca459b-396c-4a15-bced-77722c5d6012, that is derived from a Project Gutenberg work and maintains reference to the project; so this license apply. This Kepub contains the much needed js code and so this license should apply to it as well. I don't know if this license is compatible with the GPLv3 but I think this is worth to investigate.

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The kepub renderer fails when URL-encoded names are encountered. An update is necessary to ensure that file names are not URL-encoded in the TOC or the OPF file.

I just tried your calibre-kobo-driver and installing/configuring was no problem. Then I tried it with some books which I own as epub. First, there was no obvious problem but after going back to the home screen and re-opening the book, it started at a different page. Please note that this problem didn't occur with the original epubs nor with other "real" kepubs from Kobo. Also, the Kobo had problems with bookmarks I added to these transformed kepubs. It opened a different page - not that one were I added the bookmark.

I tried it with Calibre 0.9.19 and the latest calibre-kobo-driver (last commit from Mon Feb 18 22:24:43 2013). Kobo firmware is 2.3.1.

From http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2482885&postcount=205

The plugin currently chokes when trying to send CBR/CBZ files to the Kobo Glo; it "successfully" sends the files to the Kobo Glo without actually sending the files. Plugin should check the type of file being sent and perform the extended features operations only on files that might support it (.epub, others such as .mobi?).

Updated to Calibre 0.9.19 and downloaded files from here. When trying to install get this error:

Please it is possible to make Kobo-driver-extended to process each ebook in a batch separately? So if one of them is bad-coded will not prevent the other ebooks to be converted and copied in the reader.

Or another option could be to make the error message to display the name of the ebook that contains the error, so it's easier to find it.

Thank you

As reported by @mauriziofantino in bug #6, it may help with kepub compatibility if additional files are added to the kepub package. There is a CSS file, and a JavaScript file which seems to have a lot of processing for night/day mode, and bookmark locations.

Hi Every time I comment it deletes so only way is to start new thread.
Hi
Seem to have problems in commenting tried 3 times.
Every time I press comment it goes blank! so only way to send was a new issue
Could not update via calibre and gained error message.
Followed your instructions and now have 2.0.5 installed.
Many thanks
Michael

I (hopefully) followed the instructions to the letter, but can't get the plugin to install!
SyntaxError:invalid syntax (calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.init, line 4)

I am using calibre, version 0.9.18

The Kobo span tags are added far more frequently than necessary. Use recently published KePub files to determine where spans can be skipped. Some quick targets:

• Do not split on punctuation other than full-stop characters
• It may not be necessary to descend into children of content nodes (b, i, em, etc.)

Reopening bug #32 (removal of white spaces before html markup tags). The bug is still there. If only the option "enable extended features" is selected. Just only to Kobofy a book.

At least for "i", "em", "b", "strong", "small" tags, if these tags are preceded with a white space. This only applies to the first occurrence in a sentence.

"Hello world
"Helloworld ("world" is italicized, space removed before world)

You may check this also for "span class" tags.
Edit: "span" tags seems to be O.K.
Is it doable to temporary rename problem tags to span classes? And when the Kobfication has been done reverse it? Or add the new created span classes to the css?
E.g:
"i" becomes "span class="italic"
"b" becomes "span class="bold"
"small" becomes "span class="small-caps"
etc.

Hi

I was testing the new hyphenation feature, I installed the italian hyphen dictionary as explained in the readme, then tried to upload several ebooks, but with hyphenation feature ON this is the resulting visualization on my Glo:

This is the same ebook transferred on kobo with hyphenation feature OFF

I tried on my Glo (Fw 2.5.0) and on my wife's Glo (Fw 2.4.0) and the result is the same.

Thank you

If the title of an a book has an exclamation mark in it, then the default save template mean the file name will also have an exclamation mark. The device will process the book and add it to the library, but when you try to open it, there is a "cannot open" error. This was reported in http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2467473.

The exclamation mark doesn't cause a problem in the file name for epubs.

Checking through calibre, there is callback "sanitize_path_components". Adding the following code to driver.py solves this:

def sanitize_path_components(self, components):
    return [x.replace('!', '_') for x in components]

I haven't tested to see if there are other characters that cause problems.

It's possible to tell Calibre not to send images to the device. If images are not to be sent, the ImageId field should not be set and sync_booklists should not attempt to update image IDs.

When I upgraded to latest calibre 64bit
Version: 0.9.19 IT removed plugin and when I tried to load it got this error:

Any comment?
Thanks Michael

Kovid has pointed me at the calibre.ebooks.oeb.base.decode() method as an example of how to best decode files the same way calibre does. This method needs to be copied and made to work inside the existing Container class to ensure that files are handled as close to the same way as calibre for best results.

Hi there,

I did update my Kobo Glo to 2.5.1 a few days ago. I am using your extenden Kobo driver (1.2.7) with Calibre 0.9.28. If I send a book to the reader, everything works fine on Calibre-side. The *.kepub file is placed on the readers storage. But if I try to open the book on Kobo Glo I am getting an error ("Oops! This document couldn't be opened - There might be a problem with the file..."). Do you know a fix for this issue?

Best regards,
SlimShady0208

Calibre version: 0.9.31-x64 (Windows)
Plugin version: 1.3.2
Device: Kobo Aura HD (firmware 2.5.2)

Tag combinations such as <p><b><br /></b></p> cause the driver to emit an error.
I've created a new EPUB with Sigil and pasted this particular tag combination to isolate the issue, this book is available to be sent if you so desire.

Please note that other combinations similar to this one also cause errors, if I encounter them again I'll be sure to mention them. They do seem to have in common that there's no text within the innermost tags and/or the different style of tag notation: <tag> ... </tag> vs. <tag />.

Calibre : 0.9.31
Plugin : 1.3.3
Kobo : 2.5.2

I have more than 4000 books on my Kobo.
I sent them 500 by 500.
Since about 3000, the update of metadata step, after books transfer, fails :

No problems with the vanilla plugin.

Currently there is no way to add series information when adding a new book. Series information is only added when re-connecting the Kobo device after the book has been processed. Currently, the best hope for doing this is the EPUB3 support for a series title and index, per http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-publications.html#sec-opf-dctitle. At this time, the Kobo devices do not parse the EPUB3 series data but do parse the cover data.

Hi, after the changes caused by the update to calibre 0.9.19, it seems that html files are not parsed anymore. Neither class="koboSpan" nor id="kobo.x.x" get added, while the property to the cover image in the opf file is correctly added.

One thing I have wondered.... Have you considered having people download a "free" Kobo eBook, and then having the plugin extract the js file from it, and add it into the books you convert?

That way you are not distributing the file, you are merely providing a tool that permits the user to extract the file and add it to their books?

Hello jgoguen,

first of all let me say great job! I opened this issue cause I am having some problem in the majority of the books (not all but with only one at the moment I do not have problem) I upload with your extended module. In practice I am always stuck at the cover page once I open a book. I can read the book by using the toc jumping on a specific chapter, but when I reach its end i loop back to the cover page and again the only way to get rid of it is to use pass through the table of content.

Another thing I wanted to say is related to the problem of the bookmarks. With the last firmware upgrade many people have exerienced the problem of the bookmarks. A possible solution is to set the margin size to zero. Indeed all the original kepub I have taken from my kobo has the margin size set to zero.

Another comment is on the kobo tags which are added. I have noticed that your plugin as well as the suggestions of dsandrei in his blog adds only the hash tag kobo.x.y, while I have noticed that in the original kepub the string is more complex and appear in the form of: . I have no idea if the class="KoboSpan" has any effect on the file.

Thanks for your work and let me know if I can help you somehow!

Maurizio.

When adding the kepub extension to file names, a check needs to be done to ensure that DRM-encumbered books are not given the kepub extension.
