Failed to add a specific book - No Manifest Found

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
There is one specific book (in mobi file format) that failed to be added to my library. The book doesn't seem to be corrupted, as I could open it with Kindle on my iPad, also with calibre on the PC. It outputs a warning as follows:

(com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate:2): Gjs-WARNING **: 09:09:11.927: JS ERROR: Error: No Manifest Found
_init/<@resource:///com/github/johnfactotum/Foliate/js/epubView.js:623:57

@/app/bin/com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate:9:17

I can share the book if needed, only for debugging purposes. It was "bash Cookbook" purchased from here: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/definitive-programming-cookbooks-oreilly-books

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Try to add the mentioned book to the library, it fails.

Expected behavior
If there isn't an issue with the book, adding to the library should work fine.

Version:

• Foliate version: 2.6.3
• OS/Distribution and version: Fedora 34
• Desktop environment: GNOME 40.2
• Installation method: Flatpak

Could it be that this book is DRM protected. If that is true then Foliate might not be able to open it.

What's the exact ISBN? (Maybe Kindle-app has this information)

Can you convert it to ePub?

Can you open it with any other free linux ebook reader?

@itprojects Hi, thanks for the reply.

What's the exact ISBN? (Maybe Kindle-app has this information)

9781491975336

Can you convert it to ePub?

I have the epub version as well. The epub version works fine.

Can you open it with any other free linux ebook reader?

Yes, calibre works fine, but not foliate.

[itprojects]

Opens well in Calibre as .mobi, so not DRM. Tested on Ubuntu (21.04) VM with flatpak.

Can you test the book with the new renderer? You can try the new renderer with the online reader or the gtk4 branch.

I'm gonna go head and close this for now. It's likely an issue with either how KindleUnpack converts the book, or how Epub.js handles the resultant EPUB. Neither are applicable anymore.
