It's also very unobtrusive, a single EXE file which doesn't require installation, so is very safe to try. Pagina EPUB-Checker isn't aimed at the casual user, but we found it handy as a way to explore why some of our eBooks were difficult to view. If you have a couple of PDF > ePub programs, say, you could convert 10 test files with each, run the results through EPUB-Checker and see how many errors it reports. It still gives you a simple measure of ePub 'quality': more errors means it's more poorly constructed and less likely to display accurately.ĮPUB-Checker could also help you assess the quality of ePub converters. Okay, the actual errors in the report will mean nothing to most people ('File listed in reference element in guide was not declared in OPF manifest: OEBPS/Text/contents.xhtml'), but that's not important. We tried the same with an ebook we could use, and it displayed only 3. Was it the program's fault, or the document? We dragged the ePub into the checker and it reported 63 errors in the file structure. It supports most of the main FBReader features: Latest rendering engine (even newer than used in Android and iOS versions) Full support of ePub, fb2(.
The beta release is very close to production quality. Our regular ePub viewer wouldn't open a particular file, for instance. Download the installation image (for MacOS X 10.11+).
The program is aimed very much at experts and technical types, but regular users might also find it handy in a few situations. Pagina EPUB-Checker is a free tool which scans ePub files for validity, and displays any errors it finds.
