E Book noobie

[Oily]

Just d/l an ebook in several rar flies,unzipped one of the 11 rar files,which then gave me another rar file,a DIZ file and a system info file.I unzipped this file,the ebook reader recognises it as a epub file but won't open it?
Right click on the epub file and in properties it says 0kb?
What am doing wrong?

Did you start the rar with rar0 or 1? if you did it sounds like a corrupt rar file. What book are you after?

Try using calibre just add the rar file see if it sorts it for you, if it does plug in ya device and and let calibre send it to the device job done and what was the ebook you were downloading might be able to find another copy for ya

Couldn't see any starting with 0 or 1 only letters as per photo?

I'll give it a shot,the ebook was how to use SolidWorks software.
Cheers for the replies

Have you allowed file extensions in folder options? that should show the .rar extension at least. I assume you clicked on the one beginning with a? According to that photo the extracted file should be about a meg.
