Epub reader not working with 1.0.7?

**pixieloulou** · 07-19-2011, 02:56 PM

So I updated Bridge today on my phone, and then received the 1.0.7 OS update on my PB. After updating both and doing resets on the PB and phone, I cant seem to get Epub player to open any of my books.

I have reset the PB again, deleted all E-books from the app, loaded them back on...didn't work. Deleted them all from the PB completely and transferred them one at a time back on, testing to see which would open in Epub reader. None of them are working (including the book which I have been reading all week and only have 5 or so chapters left to read!!).

Has anyone else had this problem since updating to the new OS? Should I connect the PB to my computer and try to reload the previous OS?

Had the same problem. Emailed the developer and they are aware of the issue and working on it.

Whatever the 1.0.7 update contained it has broke the app.

Will give it a couple of days to see if a fix is released. Guess I'm going to have to pick up a hardback in the meantime!

You've got to be kidding me! Right?

No kidding. Am reading a hardback book now because the app is broken. Poor PB has been turned off for the night and is on my bedstand looking sad that it has been replaced with a physical book! Lol

Same problem
Screen freezes when it tries to open the book

The SVIT EBOOK reader opens/reads fine

ePub Reader is showing as "recently updated" in App World. Presumably the update will show on PBs in the next 24 hours.

Leave it to RIM to break an application with a simple point release to the operating system and operating environment of the BlackBerry PlayBook. Seriously, who is in charge of BlackBerry PlayBook development at Research In Motion? I enjoy ePubReader but now it is broken. Bad move RIM.

On a related note, and if RIM is partnering with Kobo and Adobe then demand that Adobe develop a version of its Adobe Digital Rights Management software for the tablet rather than requiring me to use a computer running Microsoft Windows.

An update for ePub Reader has been released on July 21, 2011 which addresses the issue with BlackBerry Operating System & Operating Environment v1.0.7.2670. The developer has been very responsive and deserves much appreciation.

the update was out yesterday, its in the playbook apps/games sub forum

+1 great app, glad its working again

Nice to see such a quick response by the developer.

Curious to learn what sources everyone is using for ebooks. I have a Nook for my reading which can open DRM-protected content, so that will get the most use from me. But I'd really like a way to view magazines and children's books in color on my PB.
