Please revert to the previous version of Read if possible (v77) and check if it works. I'm trying to reproduce this, but I'm at a conference at the moment and can't download vm images. Also, regarding Project Gutenberg EPUBs, they are quite shoddy, so we should really consider whether including them is a nice idea (I can figure out some of the legal issues, but in such a situation it may be prudent not to include any EPUB at all) Thanks, Sayamindu
