      Hi there!

      I have a very…very annoying problem. Please help me, I can’t take any longer. I start at the beginning. I create my own epub files. It looks like this:

      1. I use InDesign CS4. Inserting the content, making my own styles (paragraph, character) etc. End when it looks like a simple book, then I export whit Export with Digital Editions. Don’t use numbered styles, but when I do I convert to text.
      2. Then the epub that I just created, opening in Sigil. Little tweaking there (page break, border, toc, font size, etc). Adding metadata, cover page.
      3. Testing in EPUB Validation.
      4. At last I convert this with KindleGen, or insert in KindlePreview, and create mobi file.
      5. Plugging in the Kindle Touch with usb and send it. And it works like charm

      I always have do like that.

      Now the problem:

      A few days ago, I finished another book like this. And when I tried to open in my Touch, it waited a few second, and then popped up a message saying:
      An error occurred. If you purchased this item from Amazon, delete the item and download it from Archived items.

      From then I have tried everything. Lastly I formatted and reinstalled the whole system. Installed InDesign, Word, and the most important software’s. Created a plain 20 Letter size pages and it starts all over again.

      And here comes the best part. The books that I have created earlier before this bug, it all works. Even when I open the InDesign file export it and convert it, those are working fine. All working except the new vans. Is there a DRM in the InDesign? I need your help. Appreciated!
