I suddenly had the urge to re-read the first seven pages of Building a Better World, but my physical copy was unavailable, so i redeemed a digital copy of the book. However, i've encountered some technical difficulties opening and reading my copy. I'm concerned that there may be an encoding error in the current version, although it could just be me.
I was able to find the download link and download the file with no trouble. I started out on my phone, running Android 11, and i got an error message "decoding error" using the default whatever program that is on my phone. when using the file system. (See screenshot, black background.) So i downloaded an app ReadEra, which was able to load other epub documents on my phone, but gave me the same decoding error for this book.
Then i went to my computer, where i am running Windows 10 Home (siiiigh) and i tried Chrome, fail, Adobe Acrobat, (see error message attached) and finally got a coding-style text editor, and was finally able to read it source-code-style.
I'm sorry to say i have no
experience with ePub, so i don't see the error with just my eyeballs in the code.
There's still a chance that it's just me- if you're reading this message, already own a digital copy, and if you have time, can you go and try and re-download it and see if you can open the ePub just fine, and if so, let me know what app you are using to read it?
Thank you!
