Comments.Text: Which in turn prompts the question of whether it's _text_ at all, rather than an image of the page. I don't generally see ePubs that behave that way _unless_ they're pure images; that sort of behavior with actual _text_ is more expectable for PDFs or similar formats that are intended to replicate the printed page (such as Microsoft's XPS).

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-11-30)
  
  Apparently there is no plugin for Calibre to convert the epub3 into images which would keep the flow of text seen in the reader.
  
  Therefore, I've tried to print the epub, but it does not work either.
  
  Can't Calibre alternatively convert to images?

  if that ebook shows the exact same pages in Calibre as the physical version it could be that the "sections" of the ebook are the single pages. If this were the case, probably the best option is to use an epub editor like Sigil and export the relevant sections.
