.epub Format Standardization: Allow users to upgrade ebooks for compatability during uploading. #42
Description
We've kindof been ignoring this for a while, too long perhaps, but not all Ebooks work with our: (1) json paragraph parser and (2) ereader.
If we don't have a universal way to ensure minted books are compatible with all our related services, than nothing is going to work like it should.
So the problem is when uploading certain books, e.g., those from the Internet archive, or certain other books you get from various sites, when you go to step two for uploading the NFT the page goes blank because it can't parse the text by paragraph. In certain instances if those books were minted they wouldn't be viewable in our e-reader.
The Internet Archive is the content rich target for capturing thousands or millions of forgotten books. We need to make an in-app services that preps those books for compatibility. First this starts with identifying all the possible problems of why they can't be parsed or displayed by default. The other is making a service that users can go through as an intermediary step when uploading to convert their ebook to an ideal form.
