What format All My Books supporting for reading an eBook? (Mobi, epub ...).
Right now I can open a mobi eBook but could not open an epub eBook

Thanks
Code: Select all
<br><!--#filesize_lbl -->: <b><!--#filesize --> </b>

I just discovered that if you hover your mouse over the open book icon on the book's card, it displays the full path, title, and extension of the ebook.
This may help to decide which reader you need.

I guess you are talking about "Set reader apps" button in "Expert options" tab. It should be used only if you have to override your system defaults for the desired file type. If it doesn't work for you, can you show your readers.txt file contents?badams007 wrote:Another subject: Why doesn't, upon import, a label show up in AMB telling WHICH it is, .MOBI or .EPUB or .PDF, etc?

I think we will add the custom column for the file type, thank you for the suggestion. In the current version, you can add displaying of the file type by editing the HTML template you are using.
Special <!--#filetype --> tag will be replaced with the file type.
For example, to add displaying file type to the Standard template, you have to open "C:\Program Files (x86)\AllMyBooks\bookcards\Standard\template.html" in the text editor like Notepad while logged in as Administrator, locate the stringCode: Select all
<br><!--#filesize_lbl -->: <b><!--#filesize --> </b>
and add the following string after itCode: Select all
<br><!--#filetype_lbl -->: <b><!--#filetype --> </b>
