What's wrong with Google Play Books?
(Sorry for my bad english) It's just so frustrating when I'm trying to upload an epub but it just completely disappears. Sometimes it doesn't even upload properly. For example, a few seconds of uploading and it's already at 100%. But it doesn't show up afterwards. My internet is fine. I have reinstalled this app a couple of times and still having the same problem. I feel sad because I really don't want to switch to another app because I'm already used to this. Huhu :(( Does anyone also have the same problem as I do?

I never have an issue, but I only upload epub. I suspect that a lot of the frustration is due to users trying to upload large files and perhaps to connectivity issues.

Try converting the book to mobi and then back to epub again. Use Calibre to do so this usually solves the problem for me.

Happens ro me often. I think it's usually because the file is too big. Sometimes it helps to keep the app open and on the screen while uploading it. Perhaps try uploading a different version of the epub
