Schedules and reading lists
Fix unexpected run times, empty editions, paused lists, and destination choices.
The next edition time looks wrong
Edit the list and check its local time, IANA time zone, cadence, and weekday or day of month. The time zone—not the browser's current location—controls daylight-saving behavior and the displayed next run.
The list did not run
- Confirm the list is active rather than paused or archived.
- Confirm the displayed next edition has passed in the configured time zone.
- Refresh the detail page and inspect its recent status.
- Use Run now once to test the inputs without changing the recurring schedule.
Run now produced no EPUB
The list needs a readable entry newer than its saved position. Confirm at least one selected feed or newsletter has new content. eReader Relay does not send an empty edition merely because a run was requested.
An old item appeared on the first run
The first edition intentionally includes the latest existing entry so setup can be verified. Later editions use only newer entries for that list.
Content appeared in one list but not another
Each reading list keeps its own source progress. Compare their selected sources, creation time, last run, and schedule rather than assuming they share one global cursor.
The book stayed in the library
No device may have been selected in the list's Delivery step. Select destinations for future editions or send the existing book from the library.
Editing or archiving changed future behavior
Edits apply to future editions. Pausing stops scheduled runs but preserves the list. Archiving removes it from active scheduling while keeping its history and generated books.
