Why won't my epub import correctly?

Lute uses an open source epub parser named openepub kindly created by a Lute user to avoid licensing issues with currently available epub parsers.

The parser project is on GitHub at https://github.com/sakolkar/openepub.¹

Parsing is always a challenge, and some epubs may contain strange formatting that the library can't handle. If your epub doesn't parse correctly, please open a GitHub issue in the openepub repo.

In the meantime, use any of the tools available to convert your epub to a text file for import, such as Calibre.
