Dear Alan,
for example, ePub files from this page:
http://palmknihy.cz/free/index.php?SEARCH=easy&cat=10
The third file from top (Rukopis Královédvorský - an ePub version, of course )
just makes Bard to quit. These files are without DRM.
Yes this crashes for me too, I'll take a closer look.
thanks
Alan
Many thanks for you work.
Best regards,

Hello Alan,
Thank you very much for this nice update!
I can open some epub files (even with correct text encoding - that's
great!) but the Bard refuses to open other ones (I will try to find
why).
I tried this on a whole bunch of epub files, and tried to follow the
standard for reading files (I haven't followed the whole standard but
thought I was close).
I'm not surprised that there are some it doesn't work on. If you can
email the file (assuming you can legally do that), I'll take a closer look.
Note I can't deal with DRM's files (and probably never will be able to
do that), but I should at least tell the user its DRM'd.
thanks
Alan

Bard Storyteller 0.7
http://festvox.org/bard/
Bard Storyteller is free software, distributed under a BSD-like
license.
See http://festvox.org/bard/README for details
New in 0.7 has
Epub support (and initial image support)
Text highlighting based on (x)html in epub.
Bug fixes -- (I used it a lot to read books)
Fixes in audio streaming so it "gargles" less
Smooth Scroll fixes
Cursor hiding
For epub support you must have libzip, SDL_image and SDL_gfx support.
SDL_image and SDL_gfx are already available on the Ben Nanonote. An ipk
package file for libzip is included.
I have standardized the use of the volume key on the nanonote to
control volume, scroll speed or page up/down depending on whether its
speaking, scrolling or in idle position.
Note you must update your version of flite (again) to complie 0.7.
The new support for generalized token streams requires an updated
version of flite.
The next improvements on the immediate horizon are:
Better voices (that are fast enough, which is currently our problem)
better voices are fully supported on faster platforms
