find badly formatted ebooks

alexxxm · 05-23-2016, 04:26 AM

I wanted to know if there is a plugin somewhere able to grade - based on some rule of thumb - the books in my library based on how badly formatted they are.
This way I'd be able to find fast the ones that need editing the most.

thank you!

There are 2 types of BADLY formated.

The ebook-editor bug Icon checks for for the worst kind: Code SYNTAX Errors

As for the other... ask 42 people... you will get 42 answers ranging from 'Perfect" to "What the ,,,, were they thinking"

There is no simple (using code) way to determine lousy layout

Completely agree with this, having worked with epubs and azw3's, it isn't that simple, by just looking at the code and saying if something is wrong.

You have to view the eBook to see if you feel it needs fixing and then go in and fix it. No plugin can tell if an eBook is poorly formatted or not.
