I can’t find one. I’ve tried about a dozen across Linux and Android, not a single one is even remotely usable. It may be that epub is a write-only format?

    Calibre doesn’t render these files correctly. It opens up, for a split second the first page is rendered, then the left half of the background of the first page disappears, so I get a thin white rectangle with text that runs off of it, and then no other pages render.

    I think the books I’m working with…they’re similar in format to cookbooks or textbooks? A lot of pictures, diagrams, graphical elements, with text set over them, this sort of thing:

    Probably needs to be a PDF?

      Dammit, this is bugging me lol.

      Do you have a way to share the file that you’re comfortable with a stranger having? I can piddle with out and try it on stuff over the next couple of days and see if I can find something that renders right.

        I got a bunch of woodworking books off Humble Bundle, the example above is Taunton Press’ Complete Illustrated Guide To Table Saws. I’m comfortable with you having that book, not sure I’m comfortable distributing copies.
